Summit by Haaland

Haaland’s market situation (21 years old) has been reactivated in the last hours, coinciding with the next opening of the transfer window and the elimination of Borussia Dortmund from the Champions League, which has been a severe moral blow for the forward Norwegian. The player himself staged that something could happen to his future when he said goodbye to the entire stadium, individually, after his team played its last match in the calendar year there against the modest Greuther Fürth. That action gave rise to a cascade of information about a possible exit that the sports director, Michael Zork, has been quick to deny in conversations with the local media.

But the situation for Borussia has become very uncomfortable due to the constant rumors of the forward’s departure. The meeting that took place between Hans-Joaquim Watzke and Haaland’s representative, Mino Raiola, a few days ago, has not served to clarify the player’s situation. Now, As AS has learned from sources familiar with the situation, Borussia wants to hold a meeting soon with the player to clarify their situation. For Borussia, Haaland must decide now what he wants to do, whether to continue for another year or leave, and if so, decide on a destination. An important summit that will take place in the near future.

Borussia’s position is clear. He wants Haaland to stay at Borussia for another year even though he had reached a verbal pact with Mino Raiola to facilitate his departure next summer. To achieve this, they are willing to put a galactic salary on the striker, who would go on to collect about 14 million euros net. If that happened, a clause would be activated that would allow him to leave after that other year for a fixed amount. This interest in him continuing one more year in the Bundesliga is home to Real Madrid. For the white entity, it would be perfect to undertake the Haaland operation in the summer of 2023. On the one hand, it thinks that Benzema has at least one more season left at the best level. We are talking about a player who has scored 45 goals this calendar year and who has fought for the Ballon d’Or for Messi. On the other, he would have more time to make a gap in the wage bill (this summer Mbappé arrives)

Either way, Real Madrid has already made it clear to Borussia, as Watzke himself meant in recent statements, that if the Norwegian’s departure occurs this summer they are equally interested in signing him. In this sense, the position of Real Madrid is unbeatable. The relationship between entities is excellent and Borussia will give Madrid priority over any other offer. Another thing is to convince Mino Raiola, and that is where José Ángel Sánchez is being fundamental.

Mino Raiola is vital.

The superagent has a lot to say on what Haaland’s final destination will be. The Italian comes to have an almost paternal relationship with his clients and Haaland is no exception. Now it is shown that his idea of ​​taking him to Borussia was a success. Without pressure and with many minutes, the Norwegian has exploded to the point that he has scored 76 goals in the 75 games he has played for Borussia and 23 more in 19 games in the Champions League. A scorer of the time.

As AS revealed, Haaland will prioritize the sports project over any economic offer. That opens the door for Madrid against the PSG offense, which will do everything to sign Haaland when they lose Mbappé. But the French league is not as attractive as the Spanish or the English. City and United will surely be Madrid’s great rivals to sign Haaland if he comes out this summer. According to the information available to AS, there is no clause (there was talk of 75 million) by which Haaland is going to leave. Just a verbal pact to facilitate your departure (negotiate for a reasonable amount). Raiola brought Haaland to Borussia under very favorable conditions: it only cost 20 million plus another 22 in commissions (14 for Raiola and 8 for the footballer’s father).

“City are the big clubs you can go to,” Raiola recently said on Sport 1. Then he wanted to clarify that message in AS: “It was an example to say that when he leaves he will go to one of the best. It is not certain that he is going to leave Borussia this summer, it may also happen a year later,” he wanted to emphasize .
