RB Salzburg chief Christoph Freund has branded transfer talk around Erling Haaland as "nonsense".

Haaland has earned the attention of Manchester United United, Real Madrid, Juventus and a whole host of other of Europe's biggest sides following an eye-catching start to the season.

“So much nonsense is written in the last few weeks. What I've already read makes me laugh," Freund said.

“I have not spoken to any club so far. I can also say there's currently no offer for the winter [transfer]. The next step will come, because Erling will be unstoppable."
