Barcelona are already putting together a summer transfer plan to complete president Joan Laporta’s “dream” signing: Erling Haaland. The club’s “number one objective” is to sign a striker and have made the 21-year-old their priority. The Borussia Dortmund talisman’s €75-million release clause becomes active this summer, and this is being viewed as a cut-price fee for a player of his quality. Barca are aware that if they miss out on Haaland, they will have to pay a premium fee for a striker elsewhere. The Catalan club will aim to target free transfers elsewhere in the summer market to save their finances for Haaland. Chelsea duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen are being viewed as cheap options as they are available for free when their contracts expire at Stamford Bridge.
