Barcelona’s dream striker has not decided his future yet – report

Erling Haaland has become the talk of the town in European footballing media this month after initial reports out of Spain that suggested the forward is soon set to make the decision on his future.

Following a disastrous season at Borussia Dortmund, a prolonged stay in the Bundesliga is out of the question for the Norwegian international. But with Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, among many others, interested in his services, the forward has a decision to make.

Over the week, Spanish media had claimed that Haaland has his heart set on a move to Barcelona after talks with Xavi Hernandez. He was convinced of the Barca project, which revolved around the development of young players like himself.

Fabrizio Romano promptly came up with an update surrounding Haaland’s transfer saga, stating his desire to play in La Liga. At the same time, the Italian suggested that the forward is yet to make a decision on his future, as he is also tempted by Manchester City’s offer.

And now, journalist Achraf Ben Ayad has confirmed Fabrizio’s update, stating Haaland is yet to make up his mind regarding the next step in his career.

It appears the forward is currently focusing on his return to fitness after sustaining yet another injury earlier this year. The Norwegian could be an option for Borussia Dortmund’s upcoming game against Arminia Bielefeld.

Barcelona are believed to be among the clubs keen on the services of the young sensation. But they would need a financial miracle to pull off the transfer, as any potential operation could cost up to €250 million, as reported by Gol earlier.

The Catalans have identified a number of alternatives, including SL Benfica starlet Darwin Nunez, who scored a brace against Barca in the Champions League group stage, earlier in the season.
