La Liga's president did not reckon the Catalans could get the dough together for it to work under FFP

La Liga president Javier Tebas scoffed at the idea of Barcelona signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. Asked about the negotiations, he said: “I don’t think he can come next summer. The economic numbers of Barcelona are public. And the economic control of La Liga is also public. There would have to be a lot of circumstances (falling into place) for them to sign Haaland.”

Tebas was speaking at an event at PortAventura theme park. “Barcelona are in the 4-1 rule and Haaland is in the hands of Raiola. A Raiola that doesn’t sell sweets, what he sells is expensive. If you ask me if I think it’s possible, I tell you know. It’s impossible that Barcelona’s salary level lets them sign this player.”
