Barcelona have reportedly moved away from signing Erling Braut Haaland due to concerns over his lifestyle.
Since the turn of the year, it has been claimed that the Catalan giants could get involved in the race for the Borussia Dortmund forward, despite their ongoing financial issues.
More recently, the suggestion is that Manchester City are the most likely destination for Haaland, who has contributed 28 goals in all competitions this campaign.
However, according to Sport, officials with the Catalan giants had already felt encouraged to cool their interest in the Norway international.
The report claims that the 21-year-old has developed somewhat of a party lifestyle, one which is not particularly in keeping with representing a club with traditions such as Barcelona.
Although Haaland's release clause of €75m (£63.9m) is regarded as value for money by all of European football's top clubs, Barcelona would seemingly prefer to focus on alternatives.
That opinion is also said to have been formed from Haaland only making 25 appearances in the Bundesliga and Europe this season due to injuries.
