The Norwegian international has been in sensational form for Borussia Dortmund since joining them from Red Bull Salzburg of Austria at the start of last year. He’s widely regarded as one of the best young players in the world. Haaland has a €75m release clause at Dortmund, but the fee to sign him is expected to exceed €400m including his salary plus agent fees.

Real Madrid are als0 interested in signing Haaland as well as Manchester United. Manchester City will have to fend off the two clubs in their pursuit of the Borussia Dortmund hitman.
