　　Barcelona president Joan Laporta is believed to have made it his primary mission to sign Erling Haaland next summer. The 21-year-old is one of the hottest commodities in the transfer market and is widely expected to leave Borussia Dortmund at the conclusion of the ongoing campaign.
　　据信，巴萨主席拉波尔塔已经将签下哈兰德视为首要任务。现年21岁的哈兰德是转会市场上最炙手可热的球员之一，人们普遍认为他会在这个赛季结束后离开多特蒙德。
　　All elite clubs in Europe are lining up to sign him, including Barcelona and their  arch-rivals  Real Madrid. The  Merengues  are also likely to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain,  on a free transfer . And, El Nacional is reporting that Laporta  is intent on  countering that with the signing of Haaland and ensuring that both the next-gen superstar do not end up at the Santiago Bernabeu.
　　所有欧洲豪门都想签下他，这其中包括巴萨和他们的宿敌皇马。值得一提的是，皇马还很可能从巴黎免签姆巴佩。《国民报》报道说，拉波尔塔打算签下哈兰德作为回应，他将确保这两名球员不会齐聚伯纳乌。

　　Merengue：美凌格
　　on a free transfer：免签
　　be intent on：专心致志于、决心做
　　However,  pulling off  the deal to sign Haaland will  be easier said than done  given the finances that will be involved and Barça’s economic situation. Indeed, as per the report, signing the 21-year-old Norwegian international will take a massive sum of around  450 million. Broken down, that sum splits into  100 million in transfer fee and a five-year contract worth  70 million per season. On top of that, teams will also have to  shell out  a  hefty   commission  of  40 million to Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola.
　　然而，考虑到巴萨相关财政状况，完成这笔交易说起来容易做起来难。实际上，根据报告，签下这名21岁的挪威国脚将需要4.5亿欧元的巨额资金。细分来看，这笔钱分为1亿欧转会费和一份为期5年，每赛季（税前）7000万欧的合同。除此之外，球队还必须向哈兰德的经纪人拉伊奥拉支付高达4000万欧的佣金。

　　Given the massive investment needed, it is now being claimed by El Triangle (h/t El Nacional) that Barcelona are ready to take out a loan of  500 million to complete the signing of Haaland from Dortmund this summer.
　　《国民报》称，考虑到球队需要投入一大笔钱，为了夏窗能从多特蒙德成功签下哈兰德，巴萨准备贷款5亿欧。
　　Laporta sees this transfer as similar to Barcelona’s signing of Ronaldinho way back in 2003. Not only would it end the club’s goalscoring  woes  on the pitch, but also provide a major boost in terms of marketing opportunities. Enric Masip, the financial advisor of Laporta, has claimed that the signing of Haaland would be difficult but not impossible.
　　拉波尔塔认为该转会类似2003年巴萨签下罗纳尔迪尼奥。这笔签约不仅可以解决俱乐部进球困难，也是对营销方面一个巨大的提升。拉波尔塔的财务顾问马西普表示，签下哈兰德会很困难，但并非不可能。
　　woe：麻烦、问题
