Barcelona are monitoring Erling Haaland Barcelona Have reservations about his price

Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Haaland has truly broken onto the European scene this season, showing his clinical nature both in Austria and in the Champions League, and that has led Barcelona to take note of him.

The 19-year-old has netted 26 goals in 18 games in the 2019/20 campaign, which has caused many of Europe's biggest teams to begin following the Norwegian.

Barcelona are looking for a replacement for Luis Suarez, who will turn 33 in January, and now ESPN are linking them with Haaland.

In recent weeks, the name of Inter forward Lautaro Martinez has also been rumoured with the Blaugrana.

However, regarding Haaland, ESPN state that the problem arises with the fee Salzburg would be expecting: 100 million euros.

The Austrians realise that they have a gem on their hands, while Barcelona consider that price to be excessive.

Real Madrid, Manchester United and Napoli have also been linked with Haaland, but he has a contract with Salzburg until 2023, so it will be difficult to prise him away from the club without paying a high fee.
