The most significant move in the race for the Barcelona presidency was made by Victor Font, who contacted Manchester City directly to bring Erling Haaland to the Blaugrana.The 90-point load has finally been placed. In the race for the presidency of Barcelona between Joan Laporta and Victor Font, the most important move was made yesterday evening, one that could shift a large portion of the votes. As reported by the Catalan portal Sport, the men who would join the club if Font wins met with Manchester City executives to negotiate for one of the most important players in the world: Erling Haalan.As reported by Sport, Carles Planchart and Xavier Aguilar, both members of Font's staff, with the latter set to take on the role of sporting director, met at the Four Seasons Hotel in Madrid with Ferran Sorriano, CEO of Manchester City, and Hugo Viana, sporting director of the Citizens.In the summer, Barcelona will have to address the issue of replacing Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires on 30 June and, barring any surprises, will not be renewed. The stated aim of this meeting is to try to bring Erling Braut Haaland to Catalonia, whose contract with the Citizens still has a long way to run (expiring on 30 June 2034), but for whom rumours are beginning to circulate about the possibility of an early departure.The direct contact that has taken place is giving an incredible boost to Font's presidential campaign. Through his staff, he has made it known that "The sporting management is more than active these days and is working on the transfer market, travelling and meeting with various clubs. We have important things to offer Hansi Flick." Only time will tell whether the move for Haaland is real or just an electoral ploy.Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingHaaland's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, denies the rumours on El chiringuito de Jugones: "We have a lot of respect and admiration for Barcelona, but there has been no contact with the management regarding potential transfer targets. Furthermore, as the player renewed his contract a few months ago, he is very happy at Manchester City. Everything is going very well for him and we really have nothing to discuss about a transfer when everything is going so well at City."All updates in real time!
