Barcelona 'will sign Erling Braut Haaland if Emili Rousaud wins presidential election'

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland will move to Barcelona if Emili Rousaud wins the race to become the Catalan club's new president, according to the candidate's aide.

Haaland's future remains the subject of much speculation, with BVB seemingly facing an impossible task to keep the Norway international on a long-term basis.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all thought to be interested in signing the 20-year-old, but according to Josep Maria Minguella, the striker will arrive at Camp Nou if Rousard wins the election.

"We know all the conditions and if we win, the following day I will call Mino Raiola and we will accept those conditions. I have already advised him of that," AS quotes Minguella as saying.

"We have a world-class sports project that is not showing just now, but Emili Rousaud has a plan that will turn this unfortunate situation [at Barcelona] around."

Haaland has been in excellent form for Dortmund since arriving from Red Bull Salzburg in January, scoring 33 times in 32 appearances in all competitions.

Real Madrid are reportedly not concerned by suggestions that Barcelona could sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland in the near future.

The 20-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in world football and has been in sensational form for BVB since arriving in January, scoring 33 times in 32 appearances.

Madrid have long been linked with the Norway international, and it is thought that Los Blancos have identified him as their number one target to replace Karim Benzema.

Barca will allegedly complete a move for Haaland if Emili Rousaud becomes the Catalan side's new president.

However, according to AS, Zinedine Zidane's side are calm regarding the latest developments and still believe that they are in pole position to bring the Norwegian to La Liga.

Haaland, who is unlikely to be able to leave Dortmund until a release clause comes into play in 2022, has scored 17 times in 14 appearances for his Bundesliga club this season.

Manchester United are also believed to be long-term admirers of the forward.
