For several months, FC Barcelona has been interested in Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Hland (21 years old, 14 games and 16 goals in the Bundesliga this season), also courted by Real Madrid and Manchester City. Faced with the many rumors associating the Norwegian with the Blaugrana, the president of the Catalan club Joan Laporta calmed things down this Sunday.
“We are working to strengthen the team for next season. Mateu Alemany, Jordi Cruyff and all the technical secretariat are working to achieve this. There are additions that I understand people are excited about but are very difficult, because these are operations that we should not do even with a better economic situation. We must apply criteria and a certain rationality to the world of football. We are here to manage a football club well, which is Barça, and although we have improved, the economic situation has not been reversed. This is the priority, in addition to building an increasingly powerful team. We will be involved in everything, but we will not carry out any operation that could put endanger the economic situation of the club”, warned the boss of Barça for TV3.
