Borussia Dortmund “talks with Erling Haaland to clarify future because of Real Madrid’s interest”

Borussia Dortmund has talks with star striker Erling Haaland to find out his future in the company.

The Norwegian raised fears of a January resignation last week after he seemed to say goodbye to his fans after the team’s 3-0 victory over Greuther Furth, who was struggling in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke also acknowledged LaLiga giant Real Madrid’s interest in the 21-year-old striker, but Dutch agent Mino Raiola has since revealed he has not ruled out the striker’s second season.

Contradictory information has led to uncertainty about the future of the former RB Salzburg striker, as a meeting between Watzke and Raiola a few days ago has not resolved the situation.

But now The Spanish AS reports on the outfit of the Bundesliga have taken matters into their own hands and arranged a meeting with Haaland and his agents to find out his future.

According to the report, Dortmund wants the Norwegian national team player to remain in Signal Iduna Park for another season and is therefore ready to raise his salary for this 12-month period to € 14 million (£ 11.9 million).

Haaland is reportedly currently earning € 8 million (£ 6.8 million) a year in the Bundesliga, but Dortmund is said to want Haaland to decide whether or not to stay at the meeting and to choose his next destination if he decides to do so. latter.

Mino Raiola says it is not self-evident that a Norwegian will leave in the summer

Next summer, Haaland’s £ 64 million exemption clause will take effect, which could lead to his departure from Dortmund. But AS claims that if he agrees to stay for a second term, he will also be allowed to leave for a fixed amount in 2023.

Madrid would see Haaland’s entry in 2023 as ideal in 18 months to replace 35-year-old Karim Benzema, but the Spanish giants would be just as willing to move in this summer, the report says.

Watzke said PICTUREA: I know all the top clubs in Europe want him, especially Real Madrid. Real’s great interest has been confirmed. I think one day the Spanish league would suit him better than the English. Overall, we hope he stays.

It is also possible that Haaland will remain in Germany, as BILD recently announced that Bayern Munich could sell Robert Lewandowski to fund a bid for a prolific young man.

Lewandowski’s future at Bayern is uncertain as his contract expires in 2023 and the club hesitates to extend his contract.

Haaland has a very impressive record of 74 goals in 76 matches in Dortmund since he moved from Salzburg in January 2020.
