Erling Haaland drops major hint over his future in England
Haaland, 21, has established himself as one of Europe’s best-attacking players over the previous three seasons, scoring 76 goals in 74 games for Dortmund, and the Bundesliga club has grown increasingly resigned to losing him next summer.
The Westfalenstadion’s contract has a £64 million release clause for the former Red Bull Salzburg forward, who finished 11th on the 2017 Ballon d’Or list.
In recent months, the Premier League’s elite has been widely associated with Haaland, with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all said to be interested. However, it appears that England’s behemoths will be disappointed in their pursuit of Haaland, as he has set his sights on a move to La Liga.

In recent months, the Premier League’s elite has been widely associated with Haaland, with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all said to be interested. However, it appears that England’s behemoths will be disappointed in their pursuit of Haaland, as he has set his sights on a move to La Liga.
According to AS, while on vacation in Marbella with his family, Haaland told shocked supporters, ‘I will play here in Spain.’ It is a great boost for Real Madrid and Barcelona, who are both interested in signing the striker.
Mino Raiola, Haaland’s agent, recently announced that his client had purchased a home in Spain, and the Norwegian international has made no secret of his admiration for Spanish football in previous interviews.
When asked when Haaland’s next move is probable, Raiola told SPORT1: ‘Maybe this summer, maybe next summer.’ Erling, on the other hand, is very likely to leave this summer. We’ll see.
He is capable of and will take the next step.’ Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester City are among the major clubs he can join. The city has won the Premier League title five times in the last few years, far more than United.
‘When we moved to Dortmund, we all knew this was going to happen.’
Former Manchester United and England right-back Gary Neville predicted last month that Haaland would be the “main story” of the summer transfer season.
‘We all know how many cities wanted Harry Kane last summer, but he didn’t come,’ Neville told Sky Sports.
‘I’m not sure they’d go back to Harry Kane next year because of what occurred.’
‘I believe Haaland will be the big story.’ Is Mbappe likely to go for PSG as well? That may be the one huge switch. He travels somewhere, and Haaland goes somewhere as well.
‘It’s going to be a busy summer in terms of moves, and I expect City will be very keen to bring him. They won’t be desperate because City doesn’t do desperate business, but they will be very interested.
He’d be another outstanding player in the Premier League,’ says one.
