Ahead of Barcelona's presidential election, candidate Victor Font's team held talks with Manchester City officials about a potential transfer of striker Erling Haaland, seeking preferential treatment if he decides to leave. Font expressed confidence that Barcelona would have priority to sign Haaland, despite the player's long-term contract and agent's statement that he is happy at Manchester City. Meanwhile, rival candidate Joan Laporta favors extending Robert Lewandowski's contract and is also open to signing Haaland or Julian Alvarez.
