ERLING HAALAND could make a sensational transfer to Barcelona if Joan Laporta becomes the president, Paul Pogba's brother has claimed.
The Borussia Dortmund striker, 20, is one of Europe's hottest properties because of his stunning goalscoring form.
He has 33 goals in 32 appearances for the German side since joining in January and has attracted plenty of attention from Real Madrid.
But as reported by , Mathias Pogba - three years older than Paul - revealed the Barca presidential candidate's plot to land Haaland.
That is due to Laporta's close relationship with the Norwegian's agent Mino Raiola, who also looks after the £89million Manchester United midfielder.
The 30-year-old older Pogba, a striker at Racing Murcia after spells in Britain, said: "Raiola leaves freedom to his players.
"Of course, especially since Dortmund is a good club, but Barca is Barca.
"So if he wants to pass a milestone… With a Real-Barca duel, it is sure that Raiola will have an influence.
"He's his player, so if he gets along well with the president, it will be easier for Haaland.
"The presidential elections in Barca will therefore have a huge influence on this issue."

Barcelona are in turmoil at the moment with Josep Maria Bartomeu pushed out as president and his successor not yet voted on.
But the club also have plenty of issues to resolve including their mounting debt and the future of captain Lionel Messi.
Selling previous No9 Luis Suarez helped save some cash but they know Haaland will not come cheap, especially with Real Madrid lining him and Kylian Mbappe up as part of a new Galactico era at the Bernabeu.
