Barcelona are allegedly the frontrunners to complete a deal for Red Bull Salzburg forward Erling Haaland.

Having scored 19 goals from 16 appearances for the Austrian outfit, Haaland has become one of the most highly sought-after prospects in European football.

Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid are among the clubs said to be keen on the 19-year-old, who reportedly wants to see out the season with his current club.

However, according to reports in Spain, Barcelona are currently regarded as his most likely destination during the summer transfer window.

Despite the Catalan giants reportedly needing to sell before they can buy, the La Liga champions are keen to secure a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.

Haaland still has just under four years remaining on his contract with Salzburg.
