Mino Raiola has denied growing speculation that his client Erling Haaland already has a deal in place to join Real Madrid next summer.

Haaland is arguably the hottest young property in Europe after an incredible two years at Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund resisted all interest in Haaland this past summer but it is widely expected that the attacker will move on at the end of the campaign when a release clause – said to be in the region of €75 million - will be activated in his contract.

WHO ARE THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS IN THE WORLD?

Virtually every top club in Europe is interested in signing the 21-year-old, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and, particularly, Real Madrid.

Indeed, there have been numerous reports in the last few days that a deal is already done for next summer that will see Haaland move to Real Madrid along with PSG’s Kylian Mbappe, who will be available on a Bosman.

And these reports were further fuelled by the remarks of Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke, who said at the weekend that “Real Madrid are very interested in Haaland.”

But Haaland’s agent Raiola insists that nothing has been decided on his next move.

What did Raiola say about Haaland move?

“Haaland can wait for everyone”, Raiola told NOS.

“We don’t have a pre-agreement with any club and we will look for the best option, and I also never ruled out another year at Dortmund.”

Haaland has scored 76 goals in 74 games since joining Dortmund from RB Salzburg in January 2020.

He has already scored 145 club goals in 185 games in his career so far, while he has hit the back of the net 12 times in 15 games for the Norway national team.
