Erling Haaland’s agent responds to Barcelona transfer talk – but Man City have a bigger problem

The agent of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has played down links with Barcelona after recent transfer speculation.

The Norway international is one of the best strikers in world football on his day, so it’s not too surprising to hear talk of Barca looking to position themselves at the front of the queue for any potential deal.

This is what has been reported recently by Sport, who suggested the Catalan giants were keen to negotiate a special clause to give them first refusal if the player ever became available.
