Emili Rousaud has taken steps to bring Erling Haaland to the Camp Nou if he is elected the new president of Barcelona, and elections at the club will take place on January 24.
On Wednesday, Rousaud announced that he would name Josep Maria Minguella as his sports vice president should he take office.
As part of that announcement, Rousaud let it slip that Minguella had reached a prior agreement with Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola.
“He was able to bring [Diego] Maradona, [Hristo] Stoichkov, Romario, [Lionel] Messi and, with his son, Ansu Fati, “said Rousaud about Minguella.
“He has always been there. He was the protagonist in many of the important chapters of the club’s history.”
Although Minguella did not mention Haaland by name, he spoke of a transfer target.
“It is a person with a current contract [at another club] and we have to be discreet, ”Minguella said.
“What we are not going to do is filter the news. That is very good for the newspapers and very bad for the club.
“Every time you blurt out a player’s name, for example, add another million in [to their price tag]. Discretion is key. “
Minguella was the man who brought Messi to Barcelona in the first place and he believes the Argentine is still happy at the Camp Nou.
“From the first moment, I didn’t think he was going away,” Minguella continued. “Now, I know for sure. Leo is happy at Barcelona, but he wants to win.
“He has gone from winning the Champions League, LaLiga and the Copa del Rey to not winning anything. He still has the mentality of that player. The merit of a great athlete is having a winning mentality.”
