Sports director Michael Zor says that Boringia Dortmund is relaxed about the transfer interest in Erling Holland and has not set a deadline to decide his future.
The 20-year-old Norwegian is currently one of the most sought after players in world football with the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Manchester United.
While Dortmund have reiterated that they have no plans to sell the striker this summer, Zorc revealed that he has reiterated the club’s stance to his agent Mino Raiola.
What did Zorc say about Harak’s future?
Dortmund are no strangers to dealing with speculation of a transfer with one of their star players, with Manchester United tied with England for a move that was a move for Jadon Sancho last summer.
Sancho eventually resided in Germany, with Dortmund allegedly setting a deadline for the Red Devils to come up with an acceptable offer and came and went.
The club does not use such tactics on occasion, however, is equally relaxed about Zorc Last week’s visit to Raiola to Spain To negotiate with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
“I don’t need to set a time limit [for transfers] At this time. “Zorc said.
“With Erling Holland, we have a clear stance that we have informed the parties involved.
“Yesterday I spoke to Mino Raiola. We made our intentions very clear. It’s not a problem when Alfie [Haaland’s father] And Mino wants to sunbathe on the Mediterranean Sea.
“I’m relaxed because I know what we want.”
The bigger picture
Dortmund has remained in line with their desire to keep Haland in spite of their intense interest in his services.
They see him as central to their future plans under new boss Marco Rose, who takes over this summer, and last year showed up with Sancho not to be instigated to sell him a prized possession.
Failure to qualify for the Champions League could add pressure to sell, but they will still demand an all-time high fee for a player who still has three years left on his contract.
Such a fee could also prove to be prohibitive for the sport’s biggest clubs, a financial hit caused by the coronovirus epidemic.
A reported € 75 million (£ 67m / $ 92m) price clause is also in issue over the next year, meaning those clubs may still decide to sit tight for 12 months.
