Erling Haaland’s dad reveals Barcelona were never a serious option

Barcelona were heavily linked with a move for Erling Haaland during the summer transfer window before the striker ended up leaving Borussia Dortmund for Manchester City.

However, a new documentary about Haaland has suggested the Catalans were never really a serious option for the Norwegian.

The film - Haaland — The Big Decision - shows the forward’s dad, Alfie Haaland, talking about his son’s options and Barca aren’t really in the running.

“On our list, I think City is the best team,” he said. “[Bayern] Munich is number two. We have Real Madrid as number three, Paris Saint-Germain as number four,” he said.
