Barcelona want Erling Haaland as Luis Suarez replacement?

Barcelona have reportedly joined the race for Red Bull Salzburg forward Erling Haaland.

The 19-year-old is enjoying a remarkable campaign for his Austrian club, scoring 23 times in just 17 appearances, including seven goals in four Champions League outings.

Salzburg are expected to sell the striker in next summer's transfer window, with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus seen as the three favourites to land the teenager.

However, according to Marca, Barca are also firmly in the hunt as they search for a replacement for Luis Suarez, who will turn 33 in January.

The Uruguay international has scored eight times in 12 appearances for the Spanish champions this term but has struggled with a number of injury problems and is currently out with a calf issue.

Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez has also been linked with a move to Camp Nou, although the Italian champions are thought to be determined to keep hold of the Argentina international.

Barca, who held at home by Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Tuesday night, remain top of La Liga despite an inconsistent start to the season.
