Eriling Haaland's father Alf-Inge is playing an increasingly influential role in brokering the Borussia Dortmund striker’s next move.
Haaland senior, the former Norwegian international midfielder who played for Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Manchester City, has always been a key figure in shaping Erling’s career.
But it is understood that he has become more involved in direct negotiations with clubs who are interested in signing his 21-year-old son when a clause in his contract kicks in to allow him to leave Dortmund for £68million in the summer.
