UK hurdle for Haaland/Raiola entourage

„Haaland Tour 2021“ might come to a halt. Mino Raiola's cross-European trip to ramp up the price for striking sensation Erling Haaland will come to a stop should they decide to jet into England to hold talks with Premier League powerhouses.

Reports in Spain suggest the Italian super-agent is London-bound with the Borussia Dortmund player’s father, Alf-Inge Haaland, to meet representatives from Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Dortmund will not let Haaland leave earlier than planned... At least not for "pocket change"

Mundo Deportivo also claims that Liverpool are keen to speak to the pair.

However, Sportsmail understands that the formidable duo will be at least slowed down by Britain's strict quarantine rules if they land in the UK, and would be banned from meeting anyone, for business reasons for a full 10 days.

And while elite sports men and women are exempt from these rules if they are here to compete, football agents are not.

Anyone caught breaking the rules could face a fine of up to £10,000 (1.5 million KSH), which is a modest sum when compared with the value of the player they are trying to sell.

Haaland, alongside Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe, is the hottest property in world football at present, with Borussia Dortmund reportedly looking for a fee of 213 million USD (23 billion KSH) to prise their star asset from the club.

Stricter travel restrictions were announced by UK government on March 23rd in a bid to limit the spread of coronavirus variants, which have been driving up infections across the continent.

Raiola, who is ranked among the top five wealthiest agents in the world by Forbes, and Haaland, held a two-hour meeting with Barcelona president Joan Laporta and the club's director of football Mateu Alemany on Thursday morning. The agent then touched down in Madrid, where reports in Spain claimed he met Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

What will be the epilogue of the Haaland saga? we will just have to wait and see. Until then - grab your popcorn and sit tight...
