Barcelona have gone cold on Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

While Haaland has been linked with Barça since the end of last season, El Chiringuito says the Catalans have no immediate plans to move for the Norway international.

Instead, Barça will prioritise a wide player signing in 2025 and also plan to extend Robert Lewandowski's contract by two years to 2027.

Haaland, meanwhile, is also in advanced talks with City about a new contract, so effectively ending any speculation of him moving on next year.
