Jon Soler says FC Barcelona could sign Erling Haaland or Julian Alvarez
Meanwhile, former board member Joan Soler claims FC Barcelona are still capable of completing major transfers, citing the likes of Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland as examples. He stressed that clubs could structure such deals by spreading payments over the life of a player’s contract.
