Dortmund sensation Erling Haaland has dominated the headlines for months, with several of Europe's biggest clubs targeting a move for the Norwegian striker. The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man City, Man Utd, and Chelsea are all said to be in for the 20-year-old, with everyone wondering who will win the race to land the highly-rated attacker.
Several reports have claimed that BVB could be ready to sell the former RB Salzburg ace this summer. With the Bundesliga giants in grave danger of missing out on the UEFA Champions League next season and the player's release clause set to kick in the summer of 2022, selling now would be more financially beneficial.
Despite this, cashing in on Haaland this summer does not appear to be Dortmund's intention. Having sat down with the player's agent Mino Raiola on Wednesday, sporting director Micheal Zorc told Sky Deutschland that the German side do not wish to sell the forward.
"I spoke with him [Raiola] yesterday, and we made our intentions clear," Zorc said.
According to Sky Sports transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Dortmund wish to keep the Norwegian for one more season, with only an offer of €150M or more set to change their stance.

Unfortunately, after meeting with the Bundesliga side, Raiola immediately flew to Spain to meet with Barcelona and Real Madrid. The super agent was first spotted in Catalonia before making his way to the Spanish capital alongside the player's father, Alf-Inge Haaland. According to Marca, once Raiola was informed of a price, he began contacting other teams to explore offers.
