According to the "Daily Mail" report, Netflix planned to shoot a documentary about the art of scoring goals. They contacted several top forwards who played in the Premier League, but Haaland rejected their invitation.
The streaming giant is interested in the concept following the success of their July 2023 eight-part documentary series "The Quarterback," which provides an in-depth look at three NFL quarterbacks during the 2022 American football season. Everything about shooting guard.
It is understood that Manchester City's Haaland and Aston Villa's Watkins have been invited, and Liverpool's Salah will also be contacted. It is reported that Haaland has rejected the proposal and it is unclear whether Watkins and Salah are interested.
It would be a major setback for Netflix if Haaland, the current top scorer in the Premier League, does not participate in this project. He has scored 18 league goals so far and is well-deserved one of the best forwards.
It is understood that Netflix has not yet contacted any Arsenal forwards. Saka, the North London club's top scorer, has scored 13 league goals this season.
It's unclear how much access the proposed project will get, but it's expected to seek behind-the-scenes access similar to The Quarterback, with cameras following players closely to give fans an inside look at what makes a great lineman.
This American football documentary series closely follows the lives of Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings and Marcus Mariota of the Atlanta Falcons on and off the field. It captures their intimate moments with family, friends and coaches, as well as during training and games.
Netflix officially announced on Tuesday that the second season of the series will be launched this summer and will be called "The Catcher."
If the documentary series about the striker gets off the ground, filming will likely take place at the start of the 2024-25 season, in August 2024, with a planned release in the autumn of 2025.
This is the latest proposal for a series of football documentaries. Amazon Prime started the trend with the All Out series, which provides an in-depth look at the world's biggest football clubs.
So far, they have covered Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the Premier League, Juventus in Serie A, and the Brazilian and German national teams.
In response, Sutton, a former England player and now a commentator, said that he could fully understand why Netflix wanted to make a documentary series about the striker. Because this is a Hollywood role, striker means the glorious position and the final coup de grace.
