A completely unexpected piece of news hit the City of Barcelona, as it appears that the Sporting Director, Deco, has met with representatives of Erling Haaland. The sports outlet "Jijantes" was the first to report this information, capturing the moment when the Portuguese official met with Maxwell and Rafael Pimenta, who are agents for the Norwegian striker.

The meeting reportedly took place at the Via Veneto restaurant, a usual meeting spot for the Barça management when closing such deals.

Furthermore, when asked upon leaving the venue, the Sporting Director himself confirmed that they are looking to strengthen the team for the upcoming season. Could the Manchester City player be one of the reinforcements Deco is referring to?
