A number of Barca fans have laughed off reports of a potential transfer for Man City’s Norwegian goal machine.
This week, a prominent Spanish journalist Gerard Romero has reported that Erling Haaland's agent has engaged in discussions with Barcelona, sparking speculation about a potential transfer to the Camp Nou.
Romero, who has previously been lambasted by ex-Barcelona star Lionel Messi, for his inaccurate reporting has once more made the headlines with his Haaland update.
Despite Barcelona's precarious financial situation, Romero reports that talks between the club and Haaland's representatives reportedly took place on Wednesday, with indications that Barcelona is eyeing a world-class signing in the upcoming summer transfer window.
