According to rumours, Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland will meet with super-agent Mino Raiola later today to discuss his future.
With a Ł67 million release clause set to be activated later this year, the 21-year-old will become one of the most sought-after players in the summer transfer window.
Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain have all made him bids.
Real Madrid has requested Haaland to stay at Borussia Dortmund for another year, according to SER Deportivos. Real Madrid have set their sights on signing Kylian Mbappe this summer, with a deal expected to be announced at the end of the season.
As a result, the LaLiga giants have asked Halaand to postpone a move to Spain, believing that signing him in the same transfer window as the French international would be unjust.
Real Madrid believes Haaland is deserving of the title of "star signing," and that the arrival of Mbappe will eclipse him.
As a result, they've urged Haaland to wait another year before joining the club in order to give him the hero's welcome he deserves.
Nonetheless, Manchester City of the Premier League is said to be leading the transfer race to sign him. The Citizens are still hunting for a replacement for Sergio Aguero, who left last summer, and Haaland has been touted as the ideal prospect.
Pep Guardiola feels his team has the financial means and ambition to sign the striker.
Alf-Inge Haaland, Haaland's father, is likewise excited to watch his son play for City, having played for the club between 2000 and 2003. Regardless of where Halaand ends up, he'll be hoping to maintain the excellent form he's shown at Borussia Dortmund.
In the last two Bundesliga seasons, he has scored 42 goals, which is quite impressive.
