Haaland’s contract runs to 2024, but there is a release clause that would allow him to leave in the summer of 2022 for a fee of 75 million euros.
The Norway international’s contract at BVB runs until 2024
Erling Haaland is one of the very top transfer targets for Europe’s top clubs, having scored 76 goals in 75 appearances for Borussia Dortmund since he joined the club in January of 2020. His contract runs to 2024, but there is a release clause that would allow him to leave in the summer of 2022 for a fee of 75 million euros. Given the 21-year-old’s obvious talent and given the transfer market inflation that exists, this makes Haaland a modern-day bargain. There had been speculation over this clause for some time, and as reported, this clause makes the player very attractive for the continent’s biggest clubs. Now German publication Bild have confirmed that the 75m euro clause exists. “His contract in Dortmund runs until 2024, but he can leave Borussia in summer for a fixed price of 75m euros.”
Real Madrid is one of the suitors for Erling
This statement came as part of an interview with Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Khan, who revealed that the Bavarian club would be able to make a major signing soon. They, like Europe’s other top clubs, have been linked with Haaland and Mino Raiola recently named Bayern as one of the four clubs Haaland might go too, although the agent later claimed the striker could join any one of 15 top clubs. The other three clubs named by Raiola were Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid. In recent weeks, the two Spanish clubs have been significantly linked with the player. Hans-Joachim Watzke, the CEO of Borussia Dortmund, even named Real Madrid as one of the suitors. “No matter where you go, everybody talks to you about Haaland,” Watzke said, also in an interview.
“All I know for sure is that Real Madrid are very interested in him. I could name another 25 teams, but I know that for certain.” Bild have also explained that Manchester City and Manchester United join Real Madrid in their willingness and ability to pay the clause. At the same time, Barcelona would like Haaland but struggle to afford him, and Bayern Munich could afford him but aren’t thought to be as likely a destination.
