Dortmund slap 200 million price tag on Haaland

Erling Haaland is one of the biggest names in the transfer market this summer. The Dortmund striker is on the lists of the biggest teams around Europe, but his current employers have no intention of letting him leave.

For that reason, Dortmund have gone beyond their public declarations asking Haaland to stay and have slapped a hefty price tag on the player in the hope that no club will be able to afford it, according to the frontpage of newspaper 'AS'.

The German club are asking for 200 million euros for their Norwegian superstar. An amount that they know no club will be able to fork out, even more so considering the economic effects that COVID-19 has had on clubs' finances.

Clubs the size of Real Madrid and Manchester United, who had been interested in the past, are therefore aware of the price they would have to pay to secure the services of the sought after striker.

For good or for bad, Haaland's price will not change this summer, as the striker will be one of Euro 2020's biggest absences before it commences next Friday.

If a deal is going to happen, Haaland's agent Mino Raiola could be the key. The Italian is one of the most stubborn and controversial agents in the world of football, and clubs on occasion haven't even wanted to see him.

Thus, Borussia Dortmund have made their message loud and clear to those interested in Haaland. Either invest practically your whole budget on the player, or forget about him altogether.
