La Liga president Javier Tebas scoffed at the idea of Barcelona signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. Asked about the negotiations, he said: “I don’t think he can come next summer. The economic numbers of Barcelona are public. And the economic control of La Liga is also public. There would have to be a lot of circumstances (falling into place) for them to sign Haaland.”

Tebas was speaking at an event at PortAventura theme park. “Barcelona are in the 4-1 rule and Haaland is in the hands of Raiola. A Raiola that doesn’t sell sweets, what he sells is expensive. If you ask me if I think it’s possible, I tell you know. It’s impossible that Barcelona’s salary level lets them sign this player.”
