Haaland Transfer news: What 's next for Erling Haaland?

As Borussia Dortmund prepare to manage their financial crisis by selling some players, a number of Premier League clubs are reported to have jumped on the opportunity to sign up Jaond Sancho and the Norway striker. With Haaland seemingly interested in a move to the Premier League, the Norway forward has reportedly made some key demands that include having a £300,000-a-week contract which would put him in the bracket of the highest-earning Premier League players like Kevin De Bruyne and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

He could soon join the likes of Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne as the Man City transfer news is filled with the Cityzens interested in signing Haaland. The 20-year-old attacker would be interested in joining the Premier League giants with his fellow teammate Jadon Sancho also reported to join the other side of Manchester as the Red Devils are reported to be interested in procuring the young English attacker.    

However, Haaland's value for the transfer is still pretty much unknown. But it is worth noting that there is a £65 million release clause in his contract which can only be activated after 2022. Reports suggest that Borussia Dortmund will demand at least £100m for Haaland and will aim to sell him off now and not risk holding on to him till 2022 as other clubs will then be able to sign him on a relatively cheaper transfer fee.
