The summer of 2022 will undoubtedly be dominated by Erling Haaland. The Norwegian super striker can then be bought from Borussia Dortmund for 75 million euros. Papa Alfie will help arrange that, but on Friday he was especially proud of the fact that his son was nominated for the Golden Ball.

Haaland was recorded by France Football on the shortlist of thirty football players who have the chance to win the most prestigious individual award in football. In addition to Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, among others.
Alfie Haaland then shared an adorable photo of a very young Erling Braut on Twitter:

In between, Haaland was also the subject of conversation in… Italy. There, Beppe Marotta, the sporting boss of Inter and ex-Juventus, gave a remarkable answer to the question of what his biggest disappointment has been in his career so far.
“The deal for Erling Haaland,” said the Italian who laid the foundations of the Old Lady’s decade of success and Inter’s title last season. “When I was CEO of Juventus, we had the opportunity to buy him from Molde for just 2 million euros. We were so close. Now it is impossible for a Serie A club to bring him in.”
The talks between Juventus and Haaland took place in December 2017. The Norwegian talent then went to Turin and attended the clash against Inter, wearing the Juventus cap. However, the Italian top club wanted to store Haaland at the U23 and that was not to the liking of his entourage. Haaland eventually went to Salzburg for 8 million, where he immediately blossomed.
