First of all, it will be impossible to get Dortmund to leave him go for a reasonable price before the summer of 2022 – the time at which Dortmund and Raiola have agreed that the club will facilitate his departure, as per the verbal pact between the parties.

This pact was one of Raiola’s conditions to allowing Dortmund to sign Haaland for such a reasonable price: €20 million plus €23 million in commissions to his representatives – Raiola (€15m) and his father Alf-Inge Haaland (€8m).

Haaland wants to play for Real Madrid
Madrid also know well that Haaland's desire is to wear the white jersey in the near future. As he has already said himself on several occasions, he grew up watching the goals of his great idol Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

Madrid already has the Haaland operation very well tied up for 2022, which, coincidentally, is when Karin Benzema’s contract runs out. With Haaland, Madrid will have the Frenchman’s massive boots easily filled.

What is also worth noting is the fact that Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke is an admirer of Peréz in the business world and always positions himself on the side of Madrid on ECA or UEFA-related matters.

Watzke will also be eternally grateful to Madrid for allowing Dortmund to sign Achraf Hakimi and Brazilian teenager Reinier. All things considered, Real Madrid have Erling Haaland signed and sealed.
