What happened. Barcelona are making long-term plans to try to sign Erling Haaland from Manchester City in 2027, according to a Sports Illustrated transfer roundup. The club have reportedly told Lamine Yamal they intend to build a blockbuster attack around that timeframe, with Haaland one of the names under consideration.

• No bid, agreed fee or confirmed talks with Manchester City have been reported.
• Julián Álvarez of Atlético Madrid is also under consideration and remains a continuing target.
• The 2027 timeframe points to squad-building planning, not an active move this window.

The report is planning and interest only, with Haaland still a City player and no move imminent.
