According to the latest football transfer news, Borussia Dortmund is trying their best to keep Haaland as his contract is about to expire. Haaland is one of the most favorite players for other clubs to sign and is awaiting a big transfer. But Borussia Dortmund is trying to not let that happen. 

Haaland has 14 goals and three assists in all competitions for Dortmund this season, playing only 11 times due to his injury. His overall career at Dortmund got him 71 goals in 70 games since moving from RB Salzburg. 

Every top club in Europe is looking to get hold of this Norwegian Super striker in the summer of 2022. His closest options are Manchester City and Real Madrid, who are waiting for the right moment.

Dortmund is now vulnerable to losing their most important and talented player, so the club is figuring out all possible ways to keep him tied to the club.

According to Sky Sports Germany, Dortmund is 'trying as hard as they possibly can to keep him until summer 2023.

The club wants to double Haaland's salary and push back his release clause by a year in order to get another season of goals out of him.

How sure are Dortmund to keep him at Club?

However, Dortmund now has locked horns with Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola, who wants his client to move this coming summer.

Various football transfer news says there is a '90 percent chance' Haaland will leave Dortmund in the summer. Although only a handful of clubs can afford to hand out a five-year contract and afford Raiola's commission. Manchester City is one of them because they will be in the market for a world-class striker next year. City failed to lure Kane after they let Aguero go. That has made them more eager to sign a new striker like Haaland next summer. 

That is very likely to happen as Haaland has a clause in his Dortmund contract which can only be triggered in the summer of 2022. It will allow him to leave if a club stumps up between £64m (€75m) and £85m (€100m), according to ESPN.
