Barcelona set to make a transfer as a ‘favour’ to superagent Mino Raiola

The big dream at FC Barcelona is to secure the signing of Erling Haaland in the coming summer. The Norweigan is seen as the perfect solution for all of the club’s problems in front of the goal.

However, that would be a very difficult move for Barcelona to land. The current economic situation and tight salary cap make it close to impossible for Haaland to arrive in Catalonia.

The one hope that remains is Joan Laporta’s good relationship with the striker’s agent Mino Raiola.

The superagent has a big role to play in deciding the next stage of Haaland’s career, and Barcelona are looking to provide him with some favours to help in their dream signing.

The transfer of Ajax defender Noussair Mazraoui could be one such favour. In fact, according to Gerard Romero, the player has already made it clear that his priority is to join Barcelona.

According to reports from SPORT, the Blaugranas are contemplating a serious move for the Ajax right-back to improve their relations with Raiola. Yet, the move would not be out of that pure intent.

At the club, several of the staff members have not been impressed by Sergino Dest’s growth. The USMNT player has had flashes of brilliance but has recently turned into a liability in the defense line.

The profile of Mazrauoi is seen as an upgrade over Dest. The Moroccan international has four goals and two assists in 14 Eredivisie games so far, providing close to 2 key passes every game.

Only time will tell if this news influences Erling Haaland’s much-anticipated transfer next season. However, it does go on to show the desperation from the Catalans’ end to plug the holes in their team.
