Barca 'will sign Haaland if Rousaud wins presidential election'

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland will join Barcelona if Emili Rousaud becomes the Catalan club's new president, claims the candidate's aide.

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland will move to Barcelona if Emili Rousaud wins the race to become the Catalan club's new president, according to the candidate's aide.

Haaland's future remains the subject of much speculation, with BVB seemingly facing an impossible task to keep the Norway international on a long-term basis.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all thought to be interested in signing the 20-year-old, but according to Josep Maria Minguella, the striker will arrive at Camp Nou if Rousard wins the election.

"We know all the conditions and if we win, the following day I will call Mino Raiola and we will accept those conditions. I have already advised him of that," AS quotes Minguella as saying.

"We have a world-class sports project that is not showing just now, but Emili Rousaud has a plan that will turn this unfortunate situation [at Barcelona] around."

Haaland has been in excellent form for Dortmund since arriving from Red Bull Salzburg in January, scoring 33 times in 32 appearances in all competitions.
