Lads I need your help(and knowledge) : Let's say that next summer we're going on Haaland and hypothetically Man city is join in the race.

If we'll pay his release clause(75m Euro's) but city will offer more to Dortmund, Could Dortmund can say that they're not obligated to the release clause and accept city's offer ? or paying the clause is enough ?

If the player wants to move to the club and they pay the release clause there is nothing Dortmund can do. Any money a club wants to pay over the odds will be directed at the player of the agent(s).
 
City get kane
Chelsea get lukaku
Real going for Mbappe
Barcelona broke
Psg messi

Surely, SURELY we have a clear run at Haaland next year?
 
With how well he linked up with Sancho off and on the pitch, you would think we have to be in with a realistic chance.
Agent Sancho will do his best.

Paying the clause is enough. Then it's up to the player. City will not offer more than the clause anyway; that would be silly of them.
 
The Kane saga at City has only strengthened the position of United. With Solskjaer's contract extension, Haaland must be salivating at the thought that he will have everything to shine. United must make every effort to sign him.

It will be very difficult because alongside Haaland we also need a proper DM. that's pretty much 200-250m euro's

Haaland has a release clause of around £70/75m and a solid DM at best will cost £60m not an impossible level of spending considering we'll have a full season of fans, more CL revenue and possible extra revenue from a trophy
 
Imagine thinking Haaland would be a new Werner if he blessed EPL with his presence. Haaland already has double the CL goals as Werner. He's also scored more CL goals than both Kane and Lukaku too. He'd crush EPL, have no doubt about it.
 
It's either Kane or haaland for city but certainly not both and honestly haaland seems even less suited to peps playing style than Kane does.
 
Who knows what will make the fella salivate one year from now? A confusing number of factors in there. DM. Agent stuff and Uniteds stance on it. What other clubs are in the mix. OGS being super important for his early development. Sancho. His own club preference. Playing style. League table. CL, and the chance of future success. Definitely.

Haaland would be an excellent successor to Cavani. With Chelsea getting Lukaku and City in for Kane with his release clause triggering in the future it feels like the stage it set up for us to land him.
 
He's an unbelievable player, but I have to say every time I look at Borussia's highlights, it seems like every goal is scored on a 2v2 counter.

How shocking is the standard of defending in the Bundesliga? I reckon Sancho will need some time to get used to the premier league due to how most teams just park the bus against us

The protest has forced the American owners to concentrate on rebuilding the squad. I think they will continue to spend, not quite at the 200m level. Solskjaer has put United in a hopeful trajectory.

Except Haaland has a "reasonable" release clause. Unless you think a top DM costs well over 100m?

I think the release clause is 64mp(I think it's 75me)+ add the kid's large wages + add raiola's fat commission + add his dad commission and you'll end up paying 128mp(150me) easy.

Try to add to that a quality DM that probably cost 51mp(60me) minimum and you'll get the numbers I wrote.

I highly doubt any consideration for a DM will stand in our way if Erling is open to joining us next summer.
 
Our only real competitor for this is Real, but I highly doubt they go for both Mbappe and Haaland.

If City sign Kane, I really think Haaland is ours.

I feel like Haaland wants to experience the Prem or La Liga 1st, but I could be off.

Also, there's rumors of PSG going for CR7 next year on a free. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. The PR they can enjoy from bragging about having both Messi and Ronaldo in the same team.

I feel like the CR7 is just trolling, I don't think they're going for a 38 years old at this point, even Messi is a bit much at his age but he's still comfortably the best player in the world. Haaland is young, and he can be convinced that PSG is the best place for him to win his favorite competition. The fact he's so young means he has plenty of time to experience different leagues. I feel like Mino Raiola would be very happy with that, and Haaland can continue bullying weaker teams with world-class service, get further in the CL, and then make his next move from there. I'm not saying it's likely to happen, but to think only United or a Liga team has a shot at him, especially after this summer, is a bit unrealistic with PSG potentially missing a leading man up front.

I think we just need to give Pogba that huge contract and Railoa a massive fee to sign him. Oh, not to mention his massive contract as well. That’ll keep railoa and his clients happy for two seasons.
 
Riola and Railoa are happy with much smaller fees than Raiola. We're on to something here..

You realize we're talking about PSG right? How many star players do you often see them letting go? Going into PSG is one thing leaving them is as notoriously difficult if not more difficult than escaping the clutches of Daniel Levy. Teams had been trying to sign Verratti aggressively some years ago in the case of Barca who were one of them it increased PSG's desire to sign Neymar so look into that what you will. Mbappe has wanted to join Madrid since 2019 and his best chance of doing so is leaving on a free since PSG are refusing to sell. No doubt Haaland will be on a long contract too. One thing about Haaland is he's a journeyman he's played in 3 different leagues at 21 he'll definitely want an exciting league that puts him on the spotlight and gives him a chance to take a next step in his career PSG is NOT that

They might want to do that though. The contracts of Bale, Isco, Marcelo, Modric and Benzema will expire next year. Benzema and Modric will probably accept a discount and then they will have the enough space to finance both Haaland and Mbappe.

But I think it will be an open race between us and Madrid. I think Kane will end up at City sooner than later and that will leave only us and Madrid on the table. If you have a chance to sign a generational striker like Haaland, you've got to do it. Hope the situation with fans coming back to stadiums, the effects of Covid will decrease and we have finances to sign him. A front line of Rashford-Haaland-Sancho would be incredible. And we will also have the best teenager in world football too.

First of all, Mbappe did not want to join Madrid since 2019, don't tell me you think every headlines out of Marca is based on anything more than pure wishing, rather than facts. Mbappe had joined PSG the season before, the same season where he could have joined Madrid as they had an offer ready for him and refused to go to PSG. Players can leave PSG, but they can't keep resigning extensions and expect to be let go if PSG doesn't want to sell. Mbappe's running down his contract, that's the way he can leave PSG if he really wants to (although to leave this PSG side for that Madrid would be a very dumb move but his choice).

Also, this whole spotlight nonsense is irrelevant when PSG is going to be a mainstay in the CL and that's the real spotlight Haaland cares about. PSG is a very good next step because he'll be at a perennial CL contender and be a part of a world-class squad that's only going to elevate his level.
You can tell yourself all you want that PSG is a non-factor in the Haaland pursuit, I'm not saying they're favorites or anything, but they will be a factor and I'll just say that they've accomplished far more unlikely deals and I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see Haaland signing for PSG next. It's silly to think only two teams have a shot at him.
 
It seems to me Haaland has one objective and its not money, Haaland wants to be recognised as one of the greatest, if not the greatest all time strikers. I don't think for the lad himself money is the goal. Raiola is very good at converting what his clients want into actual output, we all might hate him, but if you read what players say about him he is a lot smarter and a lot more focused on getting his clients what they want. He will even berate his clients if they are not doing their job, so he can do his, he will call them and tell them they look fat, or lazy, and that he can't get them a dream move if they don't give him the output.

Moving to PSG would be a bad idea for him, if that is his goal. Yes he will win trophies, maybe even have the best shot at CL, but he will never be recognised as a top level striker playing in the Ligue (I am not claiming its a farmers league, before people starting get on their high horse), but its a fact that noone is going to pay much attention to his exploits in the french league, to some extent I would say thats happened with Mbappe, everyone knows he is top quality yet he cannot be considered in the top layer of players, Neymars stock has gone down in that light. The league is not well covered on TV, does not have a big profile and your only chance of being front and centre is in the CL.

Moving to Spain or the PL is the key to his next stage of developing his image as the best striker. It makes most sense for him to go to a big club in one of those leagues, Barca, Madrid, Chelsea, City, United, Liverpool, seem the clear choices, Bayern would be a shout in theory, but I don't think he would want to stay another three years in Germany, again its not high profile enough and doesn't show progression.

He could go to Juve, but I don't think they would go for him right now.

I dont think Barca will be fixed in time financially.

Madrid whilst they could go get him next year, I don't think he would want to go there, with the squad and issues they might have, yes they will probably look a bit better next year, but I don't think their squad will be CL winning material.

Chelsea have just got Lukaku and I don't see them going all in for Haaland as well.

Liverpool might be a shout for him, the issue I see there is I dont think Liverpool would want to pay the huge agent fees.the transfer fee is fine, wages they would not be wanting to touch but might be convinced, but add on the big fees and I think they would back off.

United and City seem the obvious choices for him, they have the money, the squads, the profile and potential to go for trophies. I don't think City buying Kane would rule them out of buying Haaland though, I think they could be ruthless enough to bring Kane in, and go for Haaland later either selling Kane or altering their style.

I think he will want a 4 year contract, looking to move to Barca/Real at the end when they have both had time to rebuild their finances and squads.

Good points made. I’d also touch upon the fact that it might be a bit too crowded for him at Madrid with Mbappe. Seems like he wants to be the best in the world and it wouldn’t make much sense to go where his main competition would be.

Good points indeed, and I would like to add that I feel he was never going to transfer this summer already: I am absolutely sure that he feels he is not done in the Bundesliga when he did not beat Lewandowski over a season. Beating him to become top scorer in the BL would feel like Haaland taking over the top spot from Lewandowski, and doing that in the same league would prove it more, than going elsewhere already.

You could say this about all Bundesliga stars but when Bayern come calling they usually win. They just got Upemecano and could easily bag Haaland as Lewa replacement. One thing I have realized is we can never accurately judge how players rate other leagues
