Alfie Haaland humorously shut down transfer speculation linking his son, Erling Haaland, to Barcelona by jokingly declaring his loyalty as a Manchester City fan.
According to a report from FotMob, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has issued a sharp denial to recent transfer speculation, sending a two-word message: “Not True.”
The report covers how these rumours, linking him with a move to Barcelona, have persisted in the media, but Haaland has clearly rejected them.
Haaland’s straightforward response came in reaction to persistent reports that he could be on the move, potentially to La Liga’s historic giant, Barcelona. In his reply, he also posted a red cross emoji — a clear signal that the rumours are baseless, according to FotMob.
This comes at a time when the Norway international, already a superstar at City, continues to attract attention from elite clubs across Europe.
The report from FotMob further underscores that while speculation remains high, Haaland’s public message leaves little room for interpretation. His firm rebuttal puts to rest — at least for now — the idea of a switch to Camp Nou.
With no new developments since his statement, Haaland appears focused on his current project at Manchester City, rather than entertaining a high-profile move elsewhere.
