Barcelona seeks to renew itself.

And in the name of that, he seeks out a Scandinavian giant and three other elite reinforcements that are not as famous.

But it goes.

Wants.

He seeks to surround Messi.

The key, the crack, is Haaland.

The newspaper Sport, from Catalonia, says: "

Barça is already working with a clear idea about the sports project for next season

. The starting point is Koeman's continuity, who they understand that he deserves, at least, to continue one more season.


The Dutchman is trying to generate a reconstruction.

And there are several arguments for the leadership to continue.

First of all, its commitment to young people.

Second,

the chemistry he has with Messi

.

And finally, how he is managing to create a team based on tactical flexibility and new training habits. "

They trust Ronald Koeman, in principle, and that will carry over to a couple of reinforcements:

Giorginio Wijnaldum

(Liverpool) and

Memphis Depay

(Lyon).

The two will be free, so Barça will not have to pay any transfer.

The two were headlines in Koeman's Holland and the

Catalans

have agreed to the two signings awaiting the validation of the new directive.

In principle they would arrive for three seasons.

In the case of Wijnaldum, who will turn 31 in November,

Koeman highly values ​​his physical condition

.

A player who over the years was delaying his position (

Matthaus mode

) and who could occupy almost all the spaces of the midfield.

In the case of Depay, also as free of payment, he is a footballer who can play both winger and center forward.

In the current Barça system, he could be one of the two most advanced players.

The third player with a

low cost

profile

-as cited by the Catalan media-

it's more of a gamble.

A player that Koeman also likes and that the club understands as a search for the present and the future.

This is Eric Garcia, 20

, who will be hired for five years.

There is another character in question

.

The Norwegian crack ...

The forward's father was named Alf, but he had nothing to do with the character in the famous American series from the late eighties and early nineties.

He was not an alien like the furry one in the comedy.

He was an Earthman and a soccer player.

His full name:

Alf Inge Haaland

.

He was one of the difficult figurines on the 1994 World Cup album. Yes, with him as a defender, Norway entered a World Cup for the first time in their history.

The Scandinavian country then became

one of the least populated territories to participate in the highest event of the most popular sport.

He was not a minor player: in times when football in his country seemed like a fantasy under ice,

Alf played eleven seasons of the English League

: from 1993 to 2003 he participated in Nottingham Forest - just in the days of the departure of the immense Brian Clough-, at

Leeds United

-the club led by Marcelo Bielsa in the crazy Championship- and at

Manchester City

in times of little prominence.

In the World Cup in the United States he played two of the three games in which Norway participated.

He received two yellow cards and missed the third date: that goalless draw against the Republic of Ireland that left the Nordics out of the Cup in a group in which all teams added four points (the others, Italy and Mexico).

Soccer, in any case, was

always in his veins.

He confessed it himself several times.

And it became clear later.

And now.

He is the representative of the next Messi, according to what they say in Europe.

And he is not just any represented: he is his son, Erling Braut Haaland, today at Borussia Dortmund.

Maybe Messi's next partner.
