Reported Manchester City target Erling Braut Haaland is likely to be the subject of “important bids” this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Borussia Dortmund striker is one of the most highly rated youngsters in world football, with a staggering goal tally at senior level despite being just 20.

Haaland weighed in with 29 goals and seven assists for Red Bull Salzburg from 27 games, while for Dortmund, he has 41 goals and 10 assists from just 42 appearances.

Unsurprisingly, the Norwegian has become one of the most sought-after stars in world football, with plenty of clubs reportedly keeping tabs on him.

According to a recent report in The Mirror, Haaland will be available for £68million in the summer of 2022 as per a clause in the contract he signed when he joined Dortmund in January last year.

Chelsea are also said to be keen on a move, but City are prepared to blow his suitors out of the water with a £100million bid and £400,000-a-week wages this summer, claims the report.

Romano now says that Dortmund will in fact be considering whether to sell Haaland this summer amid “important bids” coming their way, but he stresses that the player is currently happy at the club.

TBR View:

Haaland’s move to Dortmund has been nothing short of a spectacular success, prompting fans, neutrals, peers and pundits across the world of football to sing his praises.

Even at £100million – though you can’t help but wonder if it’ll be even higher – a player like Haaland, just 20 and notching up Ronaldo and Messi-esque goal tallies in one of Europe’s big leagues, he’ll surely be worth it at the Etihad.
