If Barcelona want Erling Haaland next summer there is another condition they may have to meet beyond the financing of the expensive deal.
Noussair Mazraoui is the condition. The Ajax right back, also represented by Haaland’s agent Mino Raiola, is out of contract in the summer and may have to be signed. Mino wants to include him in the deal. He would arrive at zero cost and is a good player, but the spot is quite well covered with Dest, Alves, Mingueza and maybe even Sergi Roberto if he stays.
This type of deal is a habitual Raiola move. With Laporta no less, he moved Maxwell to Barcelona when they signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Barcelona have made other moves like this. When Frenkie de Jong arrived, the son of his agent - Mike van Beijnen - joined Barca B.
