Barcelona president Laporta cannot deny Xavi met with Haaland

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has denied they’ve opened negotiations to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.

Speaking at a dinner for supporters’ clubs, he said: “I deny that there’s been any type of negotiation for Haaland.”

On the reports of a meeting between Jordi Cruyff and Xavi Hernandez with Haaland in Munich this week, Laporta added “that is none of my business. It’s a conversation between sportsmen without any type of negotiation”.

The Barça chief was also asked about his relationship with Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola.

“I have a good relationship with Raiola, but if I want a player, I have to speak with their club,” Laporta said.

Haaland, who is currently injured, has a €75 million release clause this summer.
