Rumour Has It: PSG want Real Madrid target Haaland, Barcelona consider options
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to rival Real Madrid for Erling Haaland, while Barcelona continue to consider their moves.
Haaland has starred this season and moved to Borussia Dortmund in January, but the forward is already being strongly linked with a move away.
While the Norway international is apparently a key target for Madrid, it seems PSG also like the forward, who scored against them in the last 16 of this season's Champions League.
