According to reports coming from England, Mino Raiola set up meetings with three of the most important clubs in the Premier League. 

It appears Mino Riola is starting a bidding war for Erling Haaland and the Premier League clubs are bracing for impact. The young striker’s father decided to accompany the agent on a “shopping trip” for his son throughout Europe. They already made the most important pit-stops in the cities of Barcelona and Madrid, in that order. However, we all suspected Raiola would live up to his reputation and schedule trips to other countries in Europe.

Naturally, next in line would be England and several clubs that might be interested in the striker. Liverpool might as well give up on the race. The Reds don’t usually pay insane amounts of money for players. But both clubs from Manchester and Chelsea are definitely interested in the striker. Even though Mino Riola doesn’t have a great relationship with Pep Guardiola, Manchester City is definitely in the race. Roman Abramovich is obsessed with the player and the Glazer family has the income to pay for his transfer as well. 

Dortmund needs to sell Haaland ASAP. 

In a little piece of information we gathered today, Borussia Dortmund has a release clause that will activate as soon as the player’s contract has one year left. If this happens, Erling Haaland will be able to leave Dortmund for only €76.3 million. But if they decide to sell him this summer, they will be able to get at least €150 million for him. That is double what they would get next season.

It makes no sense but this clause was created like this for a reason, Mino Raiola does his homework with all his clients. He knew the potential Haaland had to take giant leaps in the span of a single season. Now that he is off to England to meet with those three clubs. All he has left is a trip to Paris. The problem here is that Haaland will only play in either Spain or England. This information is coming from Fabrizio Romano.
