Alf-Inge Haaland leaves PSG door ajar for son
Alf-Inge Haaland said nothing is impossible, keeping open the prospect of his son Erling Haaland moving to Paris Saint-Germain, while the Norwegian striker remains focused on Manchester City. Haaland’s World Cup form includes a brace against Senegal at MetLife Stadium, making him Norway’s all‑time leading World Cup goalscorer.
Speaking to at the World Cup, Alf-Inge Haaland praised PSG as a ‘fantastic club’ that has just secured two consecutive Champions League titles. He added that rumours of a move for his son were unfounded at the time, saying the timing ‘wasn’t right’ but wishing the French side all the best.
Erling Haaland’s camp has not ruled out a future transfer to France, reiterating that ‘nothing is impossible’ when asked about a Ligue 1 switch. Nonetheless, the striker is fully committed to spearheading Manchester City’s post‑Pep Guardiola evolution this summer.
At the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Haaland scored two goals against Senegal, a brace that secured Norway’s victory. The performance elevated him to become Norway’s all‑time leading World Cup goalscorer.
Sporting Director Hugo Viana is actively negotiating a British‑record package for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson. He is also handling Tottenham Hotspur’s reported £60 million pursuit of winger Savinho.
Viana is further discussing the uncertain futures of Nico Gonzalez, Tijjani Reijnders and Mateo Kovacic amid broader transfer activity. Real Madrid continues to be linked as a potential future suitor for Haaland, adding to the European interest surrounding the forward.
Manchester City’s focus remains on equipping new manager Enzo Maresca with a specialised summer war chest. The club’s transfer strategy therefore keeps any multi‑million‑pound move to Paris purely speculative for now.
