The latest update coming from Germany regarding the future of Erling Haaland is very positive as far as Manchester United are concerned.
The Old Trafford club were seriously looking to capture him when he was banging in goals on regular basis for RB Salzburg. However, in the winter transfer window last year, he signed a deal worth £130,000 a week with Dortmund until 2024 (The Daily Mail).
Transfer: Man Utd want signing of £80million ‘specialist’, could offer £25million star
Since then, the Norwegian international has scored goals for fun for the German side. Last season, he netted 41 goals in as many appearances and was the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League. This season, he has already found the net 5 times in four appearances.
According to Bild, in the summer next year, Haaland will definitely leave the Bundesliga side and his agent, Mino Raiola, would get the release clause activated.
The renowned German news source have claimed that Man Utd are leading to finally secure the signing of the 21-year-old center forward in 2022. Bild have not explained why the Red Devils are in pole position. The presence of Haaland’s former boss, Solskjaer, at Old Trafford is going to be significant (The Star).
As per Sport1, the valuation of the exit clause, that can be activated next year, is 75 million euros but depending on success, it could even rise to 90 million euros.
Robin van Persie was the last striker to score 20 plus goals in the Premier League for Manchester United and that helped us win the title seven years ago.
Ole needs a world class center forward for the long term to replace veteran Cavani next season and Erling Haaland would be a brilliant addition.
I feel Man.Utd should target Erling Halland and he will be the ideal deal to complete. As for me, it makes perfect sense having the famalarity and with all the right boxes he ticks considering his teamship with his pal/partner Jadon Sancho and knowing the coach very well and as Halland has all his confirmation of Solskjaer still having to be at the club for quite some time. He and our club have the best possibility of making that work. Sometimes, players have to also consider not only the big fat packet of wages but the satisfaction of whether, besides the money, if that is the club he is going to be happy and play with that zeal and comfort.
