Erling Haaland

[Luftstalag14]

He was in Munich, perhaps to see the renowned Dr. Wohlfahrt? If so, I trust Dr. Wohlfahrt will fix him up alright.

What exactly is his injury?

What exactly is his injury?

Seeing that he wants to join RM over Barca clearly indicates his brain is not functioning properly.

 

[Devils]

Raiola has told Haaland and Laporta that the Norwegian striker should join Bar?a. The club have offered Haaland €150m over five seasons. [cuatro]

Heatin' up.

 

[Luftstalag14]

I think the influence of Raiola has been hugely exaggerated. He can advise his players where to go, but ultimately it is the players who will decide. They are not his slaves.

This guy literally built a reputation on moving his clients to clubs where he has the most to gain.

He hasn't had a client at Barca since the Ibra fiasco and Rosell/Barto refusing to deal with him. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he's itching to get back to having business with Barca. Lots of money to earn.

All of that is true, Raiola might have a lot of incentives to push Haaland to us but in the end, if Haaland says no, it is useless. He can't force him, that's what I am saying.

While true Raiola doesn?t have a say, his influence will likely be crucial. Players don?t hire agents that big to ignore their suggestions. If Raiola sees Barca as the best option for Haaland and tries to talk him into it, while no guarantee, it?s the closest one can get to it.

 

[fergus90]

I mean how much persuasion is Haaland going to need in reality. It's not like Raiola is trying to convince him to join Las Palmas.

I think players hire agents mostly to help him negotiate better deals (monetary wise), not for their professional advice on their careers (what do these agents know?). Sure Raiola will have his sway with Haaland but in the end it is going to be Haaland deciding where he wants to go.

I hope he would choose us, for sure. From his perspective we do make sense. Rekindling that Spanish rivalry. Why going to Madrid if they already have Mbappe? But you never know.

Will throw his here, and expect the mad reactions to kick in:

Auba better than Erling in penetration against deep blocks

Also Raiola will try any trick to get more money.

Could easily be Haaland has no intention of Barca but linking him raises price for City/Real.

 

[vuji_31]

Tbh I am spectical about him.

Can't trust bundesliga players.

Now add injury problems, massive contract...

Hmm

 

[Zidane82]

Barcelona offer 150m to Erling Haaland over 5 seasons. Raiola tells Joan Laporta and the striker's father that Erling must play for Barca.

@DeportesCuatro

 

[mc_lovin]

30m gross per year is definitely more bearable than the rumored 50m+. Should be roughly 50m/year with wages+amortization (fee for BVB, dad, Raiola). Compared to what we paid for Griezmann it's brilliant business :S

 

[Total-Football]

I don't believe those rumors.. I barca seems incapable of spending those numbers next summer... Move on
