Fluminense fans must have celebrated for a few hours when, on Monday, they saw the announcement of the signing of Erling Haaland on the club's website. But it was all the result of a cyberattack. "Tricolor fans, today is a day that will go down in the history of our beloved Fluminense. After intense negotiations and a great effort from our management, we are pleased to announce that Erling Haaland, one of the greatest strikers in world football, is the newest addition to our squad", could be read at the beginning of the publication. "The player himself expressed his enthusiasm for wearing the tricolor shirt: 'I have always had a deep desire for new challenges and to contribute to clubs with rich histories and passionate fans. When I heard about Fluminense's interest, I was immediately excited. I am here to help the team overcome this difficult phase and achieve great things. Come on, Fluzão!'", the note ended. However, it was all just a joke. Erling Haaland will continue to be part of Manchester City's squad.
