Erling Haaland spotted following Barca TV amidst transfer links to Barcelona

Recently, Erling Braut Haaland has been spotted watching Barca TV during a gym session, as posed by the Norwegian national football team’s Instagram (@fotballandslaget).

Ever since Joan Laporta assumed office as Barcelona’s newest president, the rumours linking Haaland to a transfer with the Catalan club have increased exponentially. Amidst these rumours, it seems the young striker has taken note, having been spotted following some footballing activity on Barca’s online entertainment outlet Barca TV.

The Norwegian phenomenon is a prospect that most clubs in Europe are waiting to pounce on, with his exit clause of €75m activating in the summer of 2022. As a striker, he is one of the most intelligent in the world with a knack for always being at the right place at the right time.

Haaland’s understanding of space – and his powerful figure – allow him to read plays and reach the right space just in time to always finish off easy chances: a skill most strikers struggle to execute. The Dortmund striker is sure to set ablaze regardless of which club he ends up joining, with the capability of bringing a large number of goals and attacking threat to any side.

However, whether this picture of Haaland watching Barca TV holds any weight or not can be called into question. Barcelona is the largest club in the world, and perhaps their content was just being played by chance in the background.

Nevertheless, the picture was removed quickly from @fotballandslaget, which almost certainly means the young striker did not wish to portray any affiliation to a club other than Dortmund.

One can only speculate why the powerful goal scorer was watching Barca – perhaps because he is considering a move to the Catalan club. But it is more likely that he was more focused on his training in the picture rather than keeping up with the latest Barca football content.
