A few hours before the Champions League 2019 match between Barcelona and Slavia Prague, the Italian newspaper 'TuttoSport' has revealed that Red Bull Salzburg has valued Erling Braut Haland at 100 million euros, one of Europe's 'gems' in the football world that is being targeted by the azulgranas ahead of the summer transfer market in 2020.
According to the mentioned source, aware that Haland is on FC Barcelona's radar, Salzburg has not wasted time to set a price for their young star. The Austrian club bought him for only five million euros and now wants to sell him for 100 'kilos'. At least.
With a spectacular start to the season, scoring six goals in the first three matches of the 2019-20 Champions League, Erling Haland has captured Barcelona's attention thanks to his ability to shine as a center forward or attacking midfielder. At Camp Nou, they are considering signing him as Suarez's future replacement.
In addition to Barcelona, the mentioned source points out that Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United have also targeted Haland for their transfer plans.
It is worth mentioning that the young 19-year-old forward, with a contract until June 2023 with Salzburg, drew attention at the U-20 World Cup held in Poland this year. For example, he scored nine goals against the Honduras national team and broke all records.

Barcelona plays today
On the other hand, Barcelona and Slavia Prague clash on Tuesday at Camp Nou as part of matchday 4 in Group F of the Champions League group stage. The channels responsible for broadcasting the match are ESPN, Mitele Plus, and Movistar Partidazo.
Barcelona returns to the Champions League after a tough defeat last Saturday against Levante in LaLiga Santander. Ernesto Valverde's team left a terrible impression at the Ciudad de Valencia, and there is nothing better than a victory against the Czechs to reconcile with their home fans.
In the first leg match between Barcelona and Slavia Prague, Valverde's team, who have not won the Champions League since 2015, won 2-1 thanks to a goal from Messi and an own goal from Olayinka. However, Les Corts' players were far from their best version.
