Abstract
The embodiments herein relate to a method in a first target CN node for handling handover of a wireless device from a source CN node to another CN node. The first target CN node receives, from the source CN node, a request message to hand over the wireless device. The first target CN node determines that the first target CN node is unsuitable for handover. The first target CN node determines if there is at least one candidate second target CN node suitable for handover. The first target CN node determines whether the request message should be forwarded to the at least one candidate second target CN node or whether the source CN node should be informed regarding if there is at least one candidate second target CN node that is suitable.
