Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez was contradicted by club president Joan Laporta over reports he flew out to Germany to meet with Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland this week.
Xavi did not deny the reports when asked about the trip to Munich to meet Haaland but Laporta attempted to pour cold water on the suggestions.
The Catalan club held a meeting with the player's agent Mino Raiola in December while Dortmund recently confirmed that Real Madrid are among those who are interested in signing the Norwegian.
