Agent Mino Raiola, the forward Haaland could be on the move this summer despite Borussia Dortmund’s reluctance to agree to a transfer. Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has said that “Haaland, who has 21 Bundesliga goals this season as well as scoring 10 in eight UEFA Champions League games, won’t be leaving the club at the end of this season”.
But I believe so, yes. I think everyone can afford him. But the question is this: can Madrid afford not to buy Haaland? And the same for Barcelona? it’s difficult but not impossible [for Barcelona]. That is the job of a club president. It is the same for the clubs as it is for the players. A train passes by and what do you do? You take it or you don’t take it. And that’s the big question.”
“When a club like Barcelona or Madrid arrives, with so much history, it is difficult to say no”.
“What we know today is that Dortmund spoke seriously with us and told us ‘we aren’t selling him,'” Raiola explained AS in an interview on Saturday. “Now we’ll have to see if that’s their wish until Sept. 1, That’s Dortmund’s official position. But I have another position, I think that if a good opportunity comes up and everyone is happy, we’ll put it on the table.”
But The 20-year-old and his Dortmund is on the 5th spot in the points table of Bundesliga which will not be a spot that will allow him to play Champions League.
“Haaland is interested in two things: scoring goals and winning trophies,” Raiola said. “When a club like Barcelona or Madrid comes along, with so much history, it’s hard to say no. Paris Saint-Germain is joining that group of big clubs, Manchester City is trying to, Juventus always have been. The league they play in is important too.”
