Haaland’s £68m release clause kicks in next season so if Dortmund dig their heels in he will have to remain at the club despite interest from Europe’s elite, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United. 

Even though Dortmund hold the cards for the time being, Raiola says he disagrees that Haaland will definitely stay at the German club this summer. 

The super agent has been touring Europe, looking to spark a bidding war for the £154million-man.

He told SPORT1: ‘Michael Zorc (Dortmund’s sporting director) made it clear to us that BVB do not want to sell Erling this summer.

‘I respect this opinion, but that does not automatically mean that I also agree. BVB were very clear in their views. We are okay with that.

‘There is no war between us and BVB – absolutely not! The relationship with Zorc, Aki (Hans-Joachim Watzke, Dortmund CEO) and [Sebastian] Kehl (Dortmund director) is still good.’

Haaland, 20, has scored 33 goals in all competitions already this season and, along with Kylian Mbappe, is the most sought after young forward in football. 

But Dortmund are seven points off the Champions League places in the Bundesliga and if they fail to qualify for next year’s competition, the striker could push to leave. 

Almost every big side in Europe’s top five leagues is interested in Haaland and the transfer saga could run throughout this summer.
