Barcelona are reportedly planning to move for Borussia Dortmund centre-forward Erling Braut Haaland this summer despite their financial problems.
The 21-year-old is widely expected to leave BVB at the end of the season, when a £67m release clause in his contract becomes active.
Real Madrid had been strongly linked with the Norway international, but Los Blancos have allegedly cooled their interest and are instead focusing on securing the services of Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe.
A recent report claimed that Haaland favours a move to Barcelona despite interest from the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
According to Sport, Xavi's side believe that they can raise the necessary funds to sign the Norwegian by moving players on and due to their new potential lucrative sponsorship agreements.
Ousmane Dembele and Memphis Depay are both expected to leave Camp Nou this summer, while Philippe Coutinho should also leave the club on a permanent basis.
Haaland, who joined Dortmund from RB Salzburg in January 2020, has scored 23 goals and registered six assists in 20 appearances at club level during the 2021-22 campaign.
