Erling Haaland is probably the most exciting talent in world football right now and as a result, it should come as no surprise that Manchester United are one of the clubs being linked with a move for him next summer. The Norwegian striker has been absolutely sensational ever since joining Borussia Dortmund but many expect him to depart the club next summer.
It is believed that a €75 million release clause will become active in his contract next summer and clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid are believed to be in the transfer race to sign him.
It is safe to say that it won’t be easy to sign Haaland from Borussia Dortmund though. Quite the opposite.
As reported by ESPN, Haaland will command wages of at least £30 million per year if he leaves Borussia Dortmund next summer. The transfer fee will be inflated as well by a significant payment to his representatives.
Haaland could be a terrific signing for Manchester United
It goes without saying that Haaland could be a terrific signing for Manchester United or any club for that matter.
The Borussia Dortmund striker appears to be a generational talent. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 70 goals and provided 19 assists in 69 appearances across all competitions for the Bundesliga side.
Those are astounding stats for any player, especially one who is still just 21 years of age and should not be anywhere near his prime as a footballer right now.
Thus, it is understandable why there is so much hype surrounding Haaland at this point of time and why so many top European clubs are interested in signing him. He has the talent and potential to go on and become one of the best players in the world for the next decade or so if he can continue performing like this.
