FC Barcelona monitors Lisandro Martínez and Erling Haaland

FC Barcelona is reportedly monitoring Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez as a potential free agent signing in 2027. Martínez, whose current contract expires in June 2027, has experienced tension with Manchester United's management following criticisms regarding club planning. While United holds a unilateral extension clause that could extend his stay until 2028, Martínez's profile as an experienced left-footed center-back aligns with the tactical requirements of manager Hansi Flick.

In a separate development, Erling Haaland has emerged as a primary target for several major European clubs. Following potential disciplinary actions by the Premier League regarding Manchester City's financial regulations, Haaland may become available at the end of the season.

FC Barcelona views the Norwegian striker as a priority to bolster an attack alongside Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Real Madrid is also considering him as a definitive addition, though such a move might necessitate the sale of existing stars to manage the wage bill. Meanwhile, PSG is interested in the striker to provide a pure goal-scoring option for Luis Enrique’s tactical system.
