Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland is only interested in signing for six clubs if he does decide to leave the Bundesliga this summer, according to Sport Bild.
Liverpool are one of the teams, along with Manchester United and Manchester City but Chelsea are not thought to be in the running. Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the other possible destinations.
Sport Bild claims that City and Real are the two leading the race for Haaland but Reds supporters on Twitter are still optimistic that the Norwegian could end up at Anfield instead:

Depends what he wants, he'd develop more under Klopp and Pep than the other 4.

How did Chelsea think Haaland will accept them?. Haaland is a guy that wanna be the best in the world, how did they think he will go to Chelsea?

IF HE COMES TO LIVERPOOL THEN THAT WOOD WOULD BE AWSOME

Manager Jurgen Klopp will know that he needs to refresh his frontline, and Haaland would be an ideal signing, but the finances required to sign him could make the deal impossible. With his price tag reported to be £120m, it seems like a long shot for Liverpool, but we shall see how the story develops over the coming months.
