The Norwegian wants to take centre stage wherever he goes next
Marca
Football’s big names are all yearning for Erling Haaland. All of the so-called elite are well aware of his situation, and the Norwegian is a player who doesn’t often fall short.
Borussia Dortmund were determined to keep hold of him last summer, turning away any offer that arrived, but the situation changed on September 1. From next summer, a 75 million euro release clause has been reported to come into play, and it has never been denied by any of the parties involved.
Haaland is a player who amazes every week. His raw physical power and his undeniable goalscoring ability makes him a target for every club looking to dominate Europe. So far, he himself has stayed quiet, looking to respect Dortmund as much as possible.
But the 21-year-old knows that the time to leave is approaching. Mino Raiola is on the lookout for a big contract, and Haaland wants to be the point of reference wherever he goes. He wants to lead his next team, but to also be supported by other good players.
With 68 goals in 67 appearances for Dortmund, Haaland has high ambitions, and Dortmund are already starting to accept that his departure is inevitable.
“It will be hard to keep him,” admitted Joachim Watzke. “We’ll do everything we can.”
