Good old Raiola, selling things that aren't for sale.
Erling Haaland

I mean, he's consistently trolled CL teams, it's the entire reason why Dortmund bought him. To use another example who judging national team performances is a bad idea: Martin Ødegaard was even worse than Haaland, and he was just voted Arsenals player of the month.
Do you think the Premier League is harder than the Champions League? Haaland is the top scorer in the competition. - He came 2nd last year, behind said Lewandowski.

Put Haaland on a team that can play fast and he'll excell. Norway is a very mediocre football team with a few individuals that are good, the rest are passengers.
Barcelona took out a loan in its entirety to buy Greizman. Without spending the day going into details, they are in trouble unless they get fans to the ground soon.
Barcelona has 700 million Euros in short term debt, and over 1.2 million Euros in total debt.
In comparison, Manchester United's debt is around 540 million Euro in short and long term debt.
For Barcelona to buy Haaland at Dortmunds demands of money upfront, they'll have to take out a loan in the size of 150 million Euro at least to cover the cost.
I can only assume that your lack of attention to between-the-lines meaning is due to you simultaneously stocking up on baking utensil, getting the dough ready, and so on.
I am already bored of this saga.
Only 6 or 18 months to go!
Not buying that at all, that’s an April fool’s day trick...
It's just a courtesy visit. They're likely meeting all the big clubs. Barcelona is not an option. They're likely the ones who leaked the visit to the paparazzi to give the impression they're in the race.
Anywhere but City.
Barcelona are surely not an option this summer, but they could be laying the groundwork for a deal at the release clause value next year.
If Haaland moves this summer, it will probably be to one of City, Chelsea or PSG - I doubt anyone else can afford him in the current climate.

Barcelona will throw silly money at Dortmund, maybe also throw in Dembele into the deal. With Koeman as manager and them being an attacking top tier team, he could very well be going there.
But aren't Barcelona on the wane though?. Ageing team and no Messi next season, both turn off's tbh. But status of Barcelona and being part of any rebuild will be tempting for anyone.

Sales and the never ending line of credit from Catalan banks. No bank based in Barcelona would survive being the entity that refused to support FCB at it's time of need.
He could just be flushing out offers.
Surely Barca can't actually afford to spend big? Some serious financial irregularities, if they can.
All i want to see is dortmund get taken for a ride.
Will he still be on the market next summer with City & Chelsea able to drop huge fees
Aren’t Barca in €1,000,000,000 of debt? No chance they can afford him.
He's got 6 goals in 10 matches for (a very poor) Norway. And 20 goals in 14 CL matches. That's your answer.
Yeah know many will disagree but still think we won't create enough chances for him until we get a proper RW
All clubs have had a punishing year financially. The Haarland to Barca is a hoax as he will be at City next season or the one after that. I can see City announcing another sponsorship deal which will cover the transfer fee and wages from a company that hasn’t made a profit in three years, just like Etihad, and are just a named front for Mr. Moneybags.Alfie Haarland has stated he ‘Hates Man Utd and their players’ so we are not in a good place. The Ole factor didn’t work before and won’t work again. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he hasn’t already given a verbal commitment to City. His agent won’t care where he goes as long as he gets his millions. United should look elsewhere.
Problem is that he won't be waiting around on the shelf until we see fit to sort that out. Gotta buy the fruit that's fresh and in season.
Haaland Snr trying to drink the water with his mask on in that video 
There most likely won't be a move this summer anyway. All of these clubs are starting to sound out a 2022 transfer and are trying to build a case.
People, once again, are completely misjudging BVB's willingness to sell.
Nothing would please me more than seeing him go to Barca/Real instead of City
Roll on up, the circus is in town.
Agreed. The reported price of over €150 million was just Dortmund's way of saying: 'Silly money or steer clear.' Dortmund's aware that, given the economic hit of COVID19, only a handful of clubs can afford such a big outlay. Of those its not certain if any are inclined to.
No doubt Haaland's camp would like it for a deal to be done this summer, if it can be. I'm also pretty sure Raiola is enjoying the publicity of this campaign. However, its not that likely anyone will meet Haaland's asking price this summer. Unless Abu Dhabi has promised Haaland to Pep whatever the price.
Nothing really sensational here, just his camp and him doing the rounds with various clubs of interest. He'll probably be over in uk at somepoint and visit both Manchester clubs, liverpool and chelsea.
I reckon that Dortmund is looking to sell this summer due to the release clause. This is their prime window. Maybe they've let that be known to Haaland and ratiola.
Not even this is clear, honestly
CL participation will be a factor, surely; the only scenario where I can picture the Haaland camp really making a fuzz and pushing so hard for a move that it might become possible is when BVB do indeed miss out.
But even then, it's
a) not a given that BVB give in and
b) the economics still point to 2022 for everyone. For Haaland, better contract and signing fee, more suitors to choose from, due to the fixed transfer fee. For the buying club, no negotiations necessary with BVB and a lower fee. For BVB, one more season with an important top player, enough time and planning certaincy to identify and buy a successor, Moukoko one year older.
If BVB make CL, there's no chance a transfer happens this summer.
Well, they're not. You reckon wrongly.
This is the problem with Raiola ‘clients’ it’s one big circus.
Letting it be known he’s publicly speaking to Barcelona and Real Madrid whilst he’s under contract with Dortmund, it’s not even the end of the season ffs.
The only club able to shell out £100m+ this summer is City in my opinion, I actually think he’ll be in the Premier League next season.

We'll see. Thanks.
This 100%.
They’re always open to sell, the question is just like with Sancho will anybody put up the cash.
If they get a £100m+ offer this summer they will be crazy to reject it given he could walk for almost have that 1 year later, basically losing out on £40m+ to keep him for 1 season?
It's always the same flawed scenarios. They're not going to get a replacement with similar value for money, they'll have to overpay, it's risky, there's no one as good as Haaland out there. It just doesn't work like that.
You need to understand that BVB don't want to sell the player. They want to keep him. They just can't, beyond 2022, if he wants out.
And then there's this bizarre habit of just outright ignoring anything the actual DoF says on the matter and claiming the opposite.
I mean Zorc just said, publicly, today that they made clear to Raiola they won't sell this summer, yet here we have @USREDEVIL stating that he thinks they are telling Raiola they want to sell.
How do you not even register what the actual guy says on the matter? It's the same as last summer.
Now watch people getting mad at me.
Hawking him around the biggest clubs to start a bidding war? All clubs are financially strapped, though obviously Haaland is a prime property. Raiola needs his cut too, most importantly...
Don't see any takers for anywhere near €150m when his clause is supposed to be €75m next year. More so given how classlessly its being handled. Madrid could be possible this year, money could be difficult though. Don't see him fitting at City or Barcelona, like Ibra. Could come to Chelsea if owner ponies up the cash, Utd also possible.
I would have big reservations about him though. Totally disrespectful way to do business and his attitude looks pretty awful too even if he's scoring loads. Constantly whining about how poor his team is.
Should be waiting till season over.

Yes I think that is probably right. A lot surely hinges on CL participation - if Dortmund miss out, City/Chelsea/PSG might be able to tempt them with an offer. If Dortmund make it to the CL, they will surely resist all offers and City/Chelsea/PSG will join Barca, United, Real, Juve and the rest in battling it out for his signature next year.
Madrid or Barcelona are going to bankrupt some bank and get a credit line to sign him.

He’s said it a million times that he won’t sell x,y or a player and 90% of the time he does though? in fact Sancho last summer was the first time I’ve actually seen them keep a player and that was down to United not wanting or having 100m to drop on 1 player.
It’s almost part of the understanding that joining Dortmund at a young age is a stepping stone to bigger things that’s how they attract these young players.
