‘Holland to Barcelona’ shock move: agent contacted… ‘It’s a big dream’
Elling Holland’s agent met with the Barcelona director.
Gerard Romero, a journalist familiar with the European soccer transfer market, reported on Monday that “Barcelona’s sporting director, Decou, met with Holland’s agent, and what was discussed was Holland’s future and Barcelona’s ambitions for him.”
This is shocking news. Holland is already well established at Manchester City. Since arriving at City from Dortmund last season, he has dominated the Premier League (PL). His insane goal-scoring form has established him as a ‘monster’. In 35 league games last season, he scored 36 goals and provided eight assists to finish as the PL’s top scorer.
City also won a triple thanks to Holland. They defeated Inter in the UEFA Champions League final and Manchester United in the English FA Cup. In particular, Holland scored 12 goals in 11 UEFA Champions League games and three goals in four FA Cup games. It is often said that City’s treble would not have been possible without him.
This season, Holland has continued his stellar form. With 17 goals in the league, he is currently top of the PL scoring charts. He was at his best in the FA Cup round of 16 against Luton Town on March 28, scoring five goals in a single game.
His outstanding performances at Man City have led to speculation of a move to Barcelona. Following a meeting between Holland’s agent and Barcelona director Deku, further reports surfaced. “It is a big dream of Barcelona president Joan Laporta to sign Holland, who has a great eye for goal, and help Barcelona catch up with Real Madrid,” the British publication Team Talk reported on Sept. 29. Even Barcelona’s president wants Holland.
However, Barcelona will reportedly have to wait until 2025. “Holland’s current contract expires in 2027, and there is a clause in the deal that reduces the buyout amount 카지노 over time, starting this summer. Barcelona will have to wait until 2025 to sign Holland, at which point his buyout clause will drop to €150 million ($217 million).”
Holland has been linked with a move to Real as well as Barcelona. According to the media, Holland’s agent, Mino Raiola, had planned a move to Real before he passed away. However, with a new agent in place, the player is now more likely to join Barcelona than Real.
If Holland were to join Barcelona, he would face Kylian Mbappe in the El Clasico, the world’s greatest derby. Both players are world-class goalkeepers who have followed in the footsteps of Ronaldo and Messi.
