Erling Haaland's agent Mino Raiola has clarified his previous statement on the striker's future and insists the clubs he listed as potential destinations are 'just examples' of where he could go.
Raiola appeared to rule out a number of clubs in a previous interview with German outlet Sport1, saying: "Maybe this summer, maybe the summer after. But there is a big chance that Erling will leave this summer. We will see.
"He can and will take the next step. Bayern [Munich], Real [Madrid], Barcelona, [Manchester] City - these are the big clubs he can go to.
"City have won the championship five times in the last few years, much more than [Manchester] United.

"We all knew when we moved to Dortmund that this step would come."
The comments seemingly ruled out the remaining top European clubs, including Liverpool, as potential destinations for the 21-year-old.
However, Raiola has since released a statement to clear up any speculation that has arisen as a result.
"I want to clarify the following about the Sport1 interview," he wrote in a statement on Twitter.
"The four clubs I mentioned about Haaland's future were just an example to say that, when he leaves, he will go to one of the top 15 European clubs.
"Now Erling's focus is solely on football, there are no negotiations with any club.
"And I reaffirm what I said - it's not a sure thing that he will leave this summer, maybe it will be in the one after that."
Haaland has quickly become one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe since his arrival at Dortmund in January last year and it's no surprise clubs across the continent are competing for his signature.
Tentative links with Liverpool have popped up in rumour mills too, as his next club still remains to be determined.
