Barcelona midfielder Rodri wants to see Erling Haaland lead the team’s attack.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that El Nacional published the information.
Rodri knows the Norwegian footballer from their time together at Manchester City and believes Haaland could adapt to the team coached by Hansi Flick.
The Spanish midfielder wants the club to meet with Haaland’s representatives if an opportunity arises to pursue the transfer.
Haaland transfer prospects
According to the publication, Manchester City’s case concerning alleged breaches of financial regulations could raise questions about the Norwegian forward’s future.
Although the club has been accused of numerous violations, the investigation has not yet concluded, and the “Citizens” are preparing to appeal.
Rodri believes that bringing in a forward who constantly draws central defenders toward him could also benefit Pedri and Lamine Yamal.
Raphinha’s role could change
If Haaland joins Barcelona, Raphinha is expected to return to the position of a wide forward. The Brazilian footballer has been playing as a central striker for Barcelona since the beginning of the 2026/27 season.
