It is more than likely that Erling Haaland’s 88 million USD release clause will be activated and that the incredible youngster will leave the Bundesliga soon.Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid are believed to be in the hunt while Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel revealed earlier this week the club are ‘talking regularly’ about the potential of signing the striker.According to reports from ESPN, whichever European powerhouse manages to lure to the 21-year-old – will have to pay him upwards of 40 million USD per year.Sat, 23/10, 16.30: (6.25) BIELEFELD (4.30) DORTMUND (1.57)Reigning European champions Chelsea are the latest frontrunners for Haaland’s signature after losing Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner to injury on Wednesday and especially after this week’s comments made by Tuchel.’We have talked about Haaland a couple of times also in the transfer window. It looked unrealistic and not possible to do.’ he said while speaking in an interview with SportBild.’Of course we talk regularly about him because he is a fantastic player and a profile at Dortmund, which is a big rival for us in the Champions League.’And of course, in any story related to Haaland and money – there is no chance not to think Mino Raiola has his part in the drama. Same report suggests the transfer fee will be inflated by a notable payment to Haaland’s super-agent for brokering a deal.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The Norwegian striker is unsurprisingly flying at Dortmund this season, with 18 goals in 13 appearances for club and country. His great form extends further in the past – he has scored 70 goals in 69 appearances for Dortmund since rejecting a move to Man United to join the German outfit ahead of the January transfer window last year.Alongside with English giants – Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have also been linked with the forward.On the other note and the undying interest all the best clubs in Europe are showing for Haaland, he will unfortunately be out for “a couple of weeks” with a hip muscle injury, Dortmund manager Marco Rose said Friday.“Erling will be out, we’ll be without him for a couple of weeks even. He has a hip flexor injury which simply doesn’t make it possible for him to play,” Rose said. “It’s the same thigh, but another location.”Time to focus on my recovery. I’ll be back stronger! 🔜💪🏻 pic.twitter.com/G5Ez5bohTv— Erling Haaland (@ErlingHaaland) October 22, 2021 “Erling was really down yesterday because he was happy to be back again,” Rose said. “That he’s out again is not good for us, it’s not great for the lad, but Erling will get all the support he needs from the club, from the team.”Haaland returned only last week from another muscle injury scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Mainz, before playing the whole game in Dortmund’s 4-0 loss to Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday.Dortmund’s next game is at Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday, and the next Champions League game is the return match with Ajax at home on Nov. 3.The Norwegian has been at the physio room a lot lately. The 21-year-old also missed Norway’s last two World Cup qualifying games with his earlier injury.🎙 Marco Rose:“Thomas Meunier won’t be able to play, Nico Schulz has a torn hamstring and Erling Haaland won’t play and will be absent for a few weeks with a hip flexor injury.”— Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) October 22, 2021
