Rumour Has It: Newcastle consider move for Dortmund´s Haaland

The race is on to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland, who might be set to make a move in mid-2022.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in the Norwegian goal machine, but could Newcastle United also be a factor?.

Haaland netted 41 goals from 41 games last term for Dortmund and already has 13 this season.

TOP STORY – NEWCASTLE ENTER HAALAND RACE

Newcastle are the latest club to enter the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, reports AS.

The report claims Real Madrid are losing their grip as favourites to sign Haaland, with Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and now Newcastle potentially in contention.

The Magpies’ move is said to be “not out of the question” following the club’s takeover by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund who appear set to make a splash in the transfer market in January.

ROUND-UP

– Mohamed Salah‘s agent has arrived in England for contract talks with Liverpool over a £500k-per-week deal, according to the Mirror.

– ESPN reports that Premier League trio Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are tracking Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, rivalling Real Madrid. United’s interest is said to be based around whether Paul Pogba departs.

– Dusan Vlahovic will follow Federico Chiesa’s lead and reject a new Fiorentina contract offer in favour of a move to Juventus, ignoring Premier League interest from Tottenham and Liverpool, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.

– Barcelona are interested in Manchester United’s Nemanja Matic, claims The Sun. The Serbian has a little over 18 months remaining on his United deal so Barca believe they could sign him next off-season on a cut-price deal.

– Goal Germany reports that Bayern Munich are making a move to sign Salzburg talent Karim Adeyemi, with the player’s agent and father reportedly holding talks with the Bavarian club on Saturday.
