Author of a double in the Champions League this week against Sevilla, Erling Haaland is salivating the biggest European clubs. However, they will have to wait one more season before they can afford it at the advantageous price of 75 million euros. Contrary to what was claimed, the striker’s departure clause will not be valid in the summer of 2021, but in the summer of 2022.
Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Chelsea and all the other clubs who are closely interested in Erling Haaland will have to wait a little longer if they wish to secure the services of the Norwegian prodigy for 75 million euros. The departure clause for this amount included in the Halaland contract will not be effective until summer 2022.
Until then, several information disclosed in various European sports dailies suggested that the clubs would be able to activate this clause and recruit Haaland for 75 million euros from the summer of 2021. A scoop denied by Fabrizio Romano, specialist journalist of the transfer market, and Christian Falk, football editorial director for the German daily Bild.
The cadors should still go on the attack this summer
To afford Haaland at a knockdown price, the big clubs will have to come back. This will not prevent some contenders from positioning themselves on the Norwegian striker this summer. But to convince the leaders of Borussia Dortmund, it will most certainly be necessary to spend more than 75 million euros.
Because Haaland, who arrived for 20 million euros in January 2020 and currently under contract until June 2024, is considered by the CIES Football Observatory as the second most expensive player in the world, valued at 152 million euros in January 2021. A value that could continue to increase given the performance of the Borussia striker.
Crazy statistics in C1
This week, Haaland increased his number of Champions League goals to 18 in just 13 games, single-handedly overwhelming Sevilla FC with an assist and a brace. This season, the Norwegian international has 25 goals in 24 games despite the difficulties faced by his team.
If Borussia qualifies for the C1 quarterfinals and Haaland performs well in the coming months, clubs interested in the 20-year-old Norwegian prodigy will need to be very convincing to attract his services. In financial difficulty due to the health crisis, like a good part of European clubs, Dortmund could consider a departure of its star this summer, in case of sufficient supply.
