Barcelona planning to raise £83m to sign Erling Braut Haaland?

Barcelona reportedly have plans to raise the money required to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland this summer.

As a result of a release clause in his contract, the 21-year-old will likely depart the Westfalenstadion at the end of the season.

The financial problems facing Barcelona have been well-documented, the Catalan giants needing to resolve those issues before they can contemplate a high-profile bid for the Norway international.

However, according to Goal, club officials plan to sell a 49% stake in their media production company Barca Studios.

The report suggests that such a move would raise in the region of €100m (£83m), a larger sum than will be required to activate Haaland's release clause.

Barcelona will also have to further reduce their wage bill with Ousmane Dembele one player who is already set to depart the La Liga outfit this month or in the summer.
