Wonderkid Erling Haaland is extremely hot property at the moment with a slew of clubs in the reckoning to sign up as his new club
Every club looks at Borussia Dortmund in the transfer market as a hub of young players. After selling so many young players in the past for a big amount of money, and creating a more efficient and effective profitable organization.
Their recent young prospect is 20-year-old Norwegian striker Erling Haaland who has his name on every club’s wishlist this summer. Haaland became the first teenager to score in five consecutive UEFA Champions League matches during the 2019–20 season.
Erling Haaland’s rise to fame and career
He burst into the scene in the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League campaign where he scored 8 goals in 6 appearances for Redbull Salzburg. He caught the eye of some of the biggest clubs in Europe like Manchester United and Juventus.
But Borussia Dortmund’s transfer strategy as amazing it is, they signed him for a fee of around €20 million signing a four-and-a-half-year contract. He scored twice in the same campaign for Borrusia Dortmund in two appearances.
In the Following Campaign, he became the top goal scorer of the competition with 10 goals leaving behind all the famous names in world football. He has scored 41 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions for Borrusia Dortmund in the 2020-21 season.
Erling Haaland Transfer News
Borrusia Dortmund have made their stance clear that Haaland is not for sale this summer and they will not entertain a bid below €150 million. They could wait until the next summer transfer window when his release clause will be around €75 million.
In the fear of losing this bright and young prospect, Dortmund will be tempted to sell him in this transfer window for more than €100 million and could use that money for the reconstruction of the team.
It is no doubt that Erling Haaland will bring in a good amount of money in a time of the pandemic when even a penny is appreciated.
Erling Haaland possible new club
Real Madrid
Spanish Giants Real Madrid currently lead in the race for signing Erling Haaland after agreeing personal terms with the Norwegian striker who dreams of playing for the Los Blancos.
They have an appealing offer on the table for Haaland but a tranfer fee with Dortmund is still not agreed. It will be interesting to see how this transfer saga of Erling Haaland concludes and where he lands at the end of this transfer window.
Barcelona
Erling Haaland’s father had a meeting with the Barcelona representatives in order to secure a profitable deal for his son but the current financial situation of the club does not allow them to sign superstars. It seems very unlikey that Erling Haaland will be in Blaugrana colours this season.
President of the club Joan Laporta has appreciated Haaland and his work ethic and was imminent on bringing him to the Camp Nou. A large amount of debt on the club in the previous transfer windows have left a big void in the club’s bank account.
Chelsea
Chelsea have the resources to lure Erling Haaland to the Premier League this season who are looking to increase competition in the current squad. Arrival of Haaland will only strengthen the Chelsea squad and will be benificial for the Premier League.
Rumours in London state that Chelsea already have an agreement with Haaland but Dortmund’s stance is solid and they are not budging. They have made in very clear that he is not available this season as he would be instrumental in this season’s Champions League.
With the possible departure of Jadon Sancho to Manchester United, Dortmund are looking to hold on Erlling Haalad and will most probably sell him in the winter transfer window before his release clause depreciates to €75 million.
