It’s only been a bit more than a month since the summer transfer window has closed but that doesn’t seem to matter for several European clubs. With their sights set on what may happen at the end of the season, Borussia Dortmund are already looking forward to securing Erling Haaland beyond 2022.
The Norwegian superstar is one of the most coveted strikers on the planet right now and, even though the Bundesliga side has been able to fend off interest from the likes of Real Madrid so far, it faces a serious threat for next summer.
By the end of the 2021-22 campaign, a €75 million release clause would active in Haaland’s contract. Needless to say, countless continental rivals will approach him when that happens and that’s why the German club wants to offer him a new deal, improving his current €8m salary and probably increasing his release clause as well.
