Erling Haaland is currently one of the most talked-about footballers in Europe and there’s a big chance that he will be leaving Borussia Dortmund during the summer.

Haaland joined BVB last summer and this season, he’s racked up 17 goals in 17 Bundesliga games for the German side. His performances has attracted a lot of interest from the European giants and it looks like his agent, Mino Raiola is keen to send him to another club asap.

A few days ago, even Roy Keane sang the praises of the youngster and he wants Man United to sign the Norwegian youngster.

Only one? Wow … Haaland would not be stupid. I think they have to get a forward. I do not know what will happen to (Edinson) Cavani’s contract this summer,” said the Irishman.

“(Kylian) Mbappé is not bad, but if I have to choose only one player that Manchester United should pick up, then I choose Haaland. Yes, Haaland. We need a striker. Will he go to Spain? Does Manchester United fit into his priorities? He knows Ole Gunnar a little from before when they worked together. Maybe he can go? He will be a very good signing.”

Man United had failed to bring the youngster on board last time around and according to Laurie Whitwell, Solskjaer’s side will try to sign him once again this summer.

He told David Ornstein on The Athletic’s YouTube show Ask Ornstein, as quoted: “Erling Haaland is definitely one that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have above all others.

“We know what happened last time with the agent demands and United saying no to any kind of release clause, and clearly that is something that Dortmund are now having to deal with.


“If they could do a deal now, I am sure they would look to add him to the squad. He is the player that I think they feel they can build around for the next five/six years.”

Man United aren’t the only club interested in signing Erling Haaland as rumours claim that teams like Real Madrid, PSG and even Chelsea are planning to make a move for the forward.

Raiola has already hinted that the player could move out of BVB at the end of the season and there’s sure to be a huge transfer battle to sign the 20-year-old.

Looking at how Mino Raiola works, the club that will play the most amount of money and will accept the agent’s terms will be the one to get their hands on Erling Haaland in the summer.
