The only time the club said that was Laporta (and his henchman Enric Masip) but that was a while ago, even then they didn't explicitly say anything about Haaland wanting to sign etc. Since then the club had said pretty much nothing before today, when Xavi said again the economic conditions of the club doesn't permit this from happening. Of course nobody would say, no, Haaland is not coming because he doesn't want to come here. Not Barca, not Madrid, not any club.
They didn't manipulate the fans, if they did, they wouldn't have come out so early (several months ago) saying that we wouldn't be able to sign him. Manipulating fans would be creating and keeping feeding the false hope that we can sign him but in the end, it doesn't happen and then blame it on something else outside of their control.

No Xavi more or less said it today and media will repeat it as well.
They go on about Barca being back in market this summer and all players wanting to sign for Barca etc.
All nonsense and played out as predicted.
Of course they maniplulate fans they did exactly as you outlined. Hinted and leaked for months about Haaland in media and gave smug hints at Haaland arriving. When it got to point it was clear it was all nonsense they start to distance from signing him and blame it on finances.

What exactly did Xavi say today? Did he say that Haaland wanted to come but we can't afford him?
The so-called "everybody wants to sign for Barca" talk, I see, you took it too literally. It is just the club big wigs giving ourselves a pep talk and a shot in the arm, that's it, of course it doesn't mean they literally believe, or are telling the fans that everybody wants to sign with us and we can can sign anybody.
If anything, their penchant for the last year or so has been "economic situation" which is putting a damper on all expectations.

What did he say? And if I ask you to provide the exact verbiage and info, you will say "try to read up on it". "Usual"? Haha, the usual and same old condescending crap from you.
Stop being so angry. Lighten up.

You come across as depressed and lonely and see negative attention on a football forum is better than no one even caring you exist in real life.
Too easy.

The words of a deluded key board warrior who craves attention on football forums as gets none of it in real life.
