Dortmund does not want a transfer
What BVB wants, Haaland’s advisor displeases
Mino Raiola is one of the most powerful advisors in the football world, among other things he represents the interests of Erling Haaland vis-à-vis BVB. And the ideas of the Haaland camp are not automatically congruent with those of the Bundesliga club, says Raiola.
Football consultant Mino Raiola does not want to completely rule out a Dortmund departure from top striker Erling Haaland in the summer. “I can confirm that I was in Dortmund for talks,” said the 53-year-old Sport1. “Michael Zorc made it clear to us that BVB Erling does not want to sell this summer. I respect this opinion, but that does not automatically mean that I also agree. BVB was very clear in its views. That is for us okay. ”
Zorc had recently shown confident that the courted Haaland will stay with Borussia Dortmund. Several top European clubs are interested in the 20-year-old Norwegian. Most recently, media reports from Spain about a meeting between Haaland’s father Alf-Inge and consultant Raiola with Joan Laporta, President of FC Barcelona, caused a stir.
Haaland scored 21 goals in 23 Bundesliga games this season and has already scored ten times in the Champions League. His contract with BVB runs until 2024.
“Stars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are getting on in years and everyone asks: ‘How much longer can we admire them?'”, The Italian told the BBC in February. “I don’t think there is a sports director or coach anywhere in the world who would say: not interested,” said the consultant heavyweight. However, “only a maximum of ten clubs” could afford the 20-year-old BVB goalscorer and offer him “the stage that you would like to have if you were in Dortmund.”
Despite the Norwegian’s goals, Borussia Dortmund threatens to miss out on qualifying for the Champions League. That would wipe a weighty argument in favor of the sought-after top striker from the table. Even economically, the Bundesliga team would come under pressure if they missed the lucrative premier class.
Raiola now said that the relationship between him and the BVB bosses was unencumbered despite everything. “There is no war between us and BVB – absolutely not!” The Haaland advisor also said he would never talk about talks or negotiations in the media. He only talks about this with his players, relatives and the respective clubs.
