„Haaland Tour 2021“ is off to England, his agent and father will talk to City, United, Liverpool and Chelsea

The auction for the hottest prospect in 2021 has started. Erling Haaland’s father Alfie and manager Mino Raiola have finished their meetings in Barcelona and Real Madrid and will travel to London on Friday to meet the representatives of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea.

The Player’s agent has started shopping his client knowing that the clause in his contract (known to be around 100 million euros) is only valid in 2022, but hoping that Borussia will approve the transfer one year earlier, if the price is good, and so far, 180 million has been mentioned. But, it doesn’t mean that all is well. Raiola did a similar thing with the transfer of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Dortmund, so the Millionaires sports director Michael Zorc already called the agent to remind him that they didn’t approve anything.

„I spoke to Raiola on Wednesday. We made our intention clear. We plan for the long term with Erling. Rumors do not have to be dealt with at all. I can see him with us for a long time“ said Zorc to Sky Sports Germany.

Zorc also told Bild, when asked about the Barcelona meeting: “I'm completely relaxed there. If the two of them want to soak up a little sun in the Mediterranean, that's totally okay ... "

But, if Dortmund doesn’t qualify for the Champions League (they are currently 4 points away from the fourth spot, and play Frankfurt on Saturday) a sum of 180 million would be quite nice for the Germans, who paid 20 million for the player in January 2020.

As far as the meetings with Barcelona and Real, the Spanish media are reporting that Alfie and Raiola listened to the proposals of Real and Barca, considering carefully that Haaland’s wish is to play in LaLiga, specifically at Barca or Real Madrid per Esport3. So far, there were no details from the Real meeting, but rather from Laporta and his proposals. The old/new president of the Catalynians has said that Barcelona is committed to signing Haaland as their player of the future, but that their financial situation is difficult.

With this in mind, Mundo Deportivo found out that Laporta suggested to Raiola that Haaland should publicly proclaim he wants to go to Barca, thus stopping the bidding effectively. He should stay in Dortmund for another year so Barca can buy him in 2022 for only 100 million. In addition, according to Catalan television, the total operation would have to add 40 million euros in commissions that would be distributed between the father and the agent, as happened precisely when Haaland left RB Salzburg to sign for Dortmund.

Laporta is hoping that Real also won’t be able to deliver 180 million euros, because their intention is to buy Mbappe and Alaba, which is expensive enough, even for the Royal club. Raiola will listen to what the English clubs will say, knowing that his client prefers Spain. But, will he wait for Barca for one more season?
