Rumours about Haaland's won't get away
The long term future of the Norwegian is still up for debate. You'd have to wonder where he will end up next season. Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich have all been linked with a move for him at the end of this season.
A recent report from the Chronicle, a local newspaper based in Newcastle, has suggested that the now rich Newcastle United should even make an audacious move for the striker. Could you see him playing in the North East of England.
