City boost in bid for Haaland
ERLING HAALAND’S father Alfie is playing an increasingly influential role in brokering the Borussia Dortmund striker’s next move.
Haaland snr, the former Norwegian international midfielder who played for Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Manchester City, is understood to have become more involved in direct negotiations.
And that could boost Pep Guardiola’s chances of luring the £68million star to the Etihad.
Super agent Mino Raiola is the player’s official representative and fell out spectacularly with Guardiola after accusing him of treating Zlatan Ibrahimovic like a dog at Barcelona.
And while City don’t feel that would be a stumbling block, their links with the Haaland family won’t harm them sealing the deal.
