Erling Haaland s agent Mino Raiola insists he has not spoken to Barcelona presidential candidate Emili Rousaud about a move to Camp Nou for the Borussia Dortmund striker.
Rousaud s advisor Josep Maria Minguella claimed on Wednesday that a plan is already in place with Raiola for Haaland to join Barca should he succeed Josep Maria Bartomeu in January s elections.
We know all the conditions and if we win, the following day I will call Mino Raiola and we will accept those conditions, Minguella told AS.
I have already advised him of that. We have a world-class sports project that is not showing just now, but Rousaud has a plan that will turn this unfortunate situation around.
However, while not ruling out a future switch to Catalonia for in-demand Haaland, Raiola denied already discussing a deal with Rousaud.
Jumping into 2021!

This is fake news! I have never spoken to a single FC Barcelona presidential candidate neither about Erling Haaland nor any of my other players and I will not do that either, Raiola told Sport1.
If there is a new president of Barcelona elected in January he can call me.
Haaland is among the world s top talents and has also been touted as a target for the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Juventus, among others.
He has scored 33 times in 32 games in all competitions since joining Dortmund from Salzburg in January 2020 and has three and a half years to run on his contract.
Since his Bundesliga debut on January 18, only Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski (32 goals in 26 games) has scored more than Haaland s 23 in 23 games.
It ranks him fourth across the top five European leagues, with only Lewandowski, Ciro Immobile (25 in 29) and Cristiano Ronaldo (29 in 27) netting more in the same time frame.
