They allege that Haaland’s future was discussed at the meeting.

The 23-year-old has previously been linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid.

However, it seems Barcelona want to try and steal a march on their LaLiga rivals by pipping them to the signing of the Manchester City ace.

Haaland has a contract at Man City running until 2027 which sees him earn £375,000 a week before bonuses.

Reports in Spain suggest the Norwegian’ has a £171.6million (€200m) release clause in his contract that will become active in the summer.

The value of the clause is set to decrease in every transfer window beyond 2024 until its expiry.

A “big dream” of Barcelona president Joan Laporta is said to have been one of the points of discussion at the meeting.
