Haaland's agent responds to talks of Barcelona move

It has been claimed that bringing the Norwegian sharpshooter to Camp Nou is a priority for a Barcelona presidential candidate.

Erling Haaland’s agent has shot down suggestions that the fundamentals are in place for the player’s transfer to FC Barcelona.

Despite being just 20 years old, Haaland has established himself as one of the most clinical players in world football ever since joining Borussia Dortmund last year.

The striker is only in his first full season at the Signal Iduna Park but is already linked with the likes of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.

Barcelona presidential candidate Emili Rousaud’s advisor has even claimed the Norway international would move to Camp Nou if Rousaud takes wins the election.

“We know all the conditions and if we win, the following day I will call Mino Raiola and we will accept those conditions. I have already advised him of that,” said Josep Maria Minguella, who is advising Rousaud, via AS.

“We have a world-class sports project that is not showing just now, but Emili Rousaud has a plan that will turn this unfortunate situation [at Barcelona] around.”

However, Mino Raiola, Haaland’s agent, has rubbished the claims saying that he has not been in contact with any Barcelona presidential candidate.

“Fake news!” Raiola told Sport1. “I’ve never talked to any presidential candidate of Barcelona regarding Haaland or any other of my clients and I will not do that either.

“If there is a new president of Barcelona elected in January he can call me.”
