Erling Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola was pictured arriving in Barcelona on Thursday, but Borussia Dortmund director, Michael Zorc insisted the club have “made our intentions clear” over the striker’s future amid ongoing links with the LaLiga giants.
Barca is one of the number of elite teams to have been linked with the Norway international following a goal-laden 15-month spell with Dortmund that has seen him score 49 goals in 49 appearances.
Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Manchester United have also showed a reported interest in Haaland, who is believed to have a €75million release clause in his contract that comes into effect from 2022.
But talk of a move to Camp Nou at the end of this season intensified on Thursday after Spanish outlet Sport published a video showing Raiola and Haaland’s father, Alf-Inge, emerging from an airport and being driven away in a private car.
It was reported that the driver is a member of Joan Laporta’s staff, suggesting Raiola and Haaland senior were on the way to a meeting with the recently elected Barca president.
However, when questioned about the alleged meeting, Dortmund chief, Zorc said he is “relaxed” about the 20-year-old’s future and joked his entourage may have jetted to Catalonia for another reason entirely.”
I spoke to Mino Raiola yesterday. We’ve made our intentions very clear,” he told Sport1″
There’s no problem if Alfie and Mino want to sunbath on the Mediterranean Sea. I am relaxed because I know what we want!”
Speaking last week, Raiola suggested he was too cautious when moving star client Haaland from Salzburg to Dortmund in January 2020 and hinted the in-demand striker may seek pastures new in the next window.
Haaland has scored 21 goals in as many Bundesliga games this term, adding another 10 from six games in the Champions League, a competition in which he tops the scoring charts.
