Haaland remains the dream – Barça now eyeing another Norwegian
· Yahoo Sports
Erling Haaland has been considered FC Barcelona's dream striker for years. However, due to the Catalans' strained financial situation, signing the 25-year-old currently appears unrealistic. Instead, Barca is turning its attention to another Norwegian: Andreas Schjelderup from Benfica Lisbon.

According to the Portuguese sports newspaper O Jogo, Barcelona is closely monitoring the 21-year-old attacking player. A Barca scout was reportedly present at the away match against FC Arouca. "We are following [his] development. His potential is undeniable and our observations were very positive," a source from FC Barcelona's sporting management is quoted as saying. Schjelderup took the corner that led to the temporary 1-1 equalizer; Benfica ultimately won 2-1 in stoppage time.
The attacker moved from FC Nordsjaelland to Lisbon in January 2023, and his contract includes a release clause of 100 million euros. In the current season, he has played 35 matches, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.
In the long term, Haaland remains the great dream of the Catalans. However, the Manchester City striker would be almost impossible to finance, both in terms of salary and transfer fee.
