Latest News about Alf-Inge Haaland
Alf-Inge said his son remains fully focused on winning trophies for Manchester City despite the club's 114 financial charges and the guilty verdict being appealed. He argued it would be unfair for the current squad to face sanctions for alleged misconduct that predates their arrival.
After Norway lost 2-1 to England in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final, Alf-Inge criticised the referee and England's win on social media. Roy Keane publicly rejected those complaints, which renewed their long-running Premier League rivalry. Alf-Inge responded to Keane with a sharp remark.
Alf-Inge said there is always a chance Erling could move to a big Spanish club such as Real Madrid, while stressing that the striker is happy at Manchester City for now. His comments came after a former Real Madrid presidential candidate spoke about a possible move, fuelling transfer speculation.
