Mino Raiola: 'Erling Braut Haaland can play for any club'

Agent Mino Raiola has suggested that Erling Braut Haaland is ready to play for a bigger club than Borussia Dortmund.

Keen for his client to play regular first-team football, Raiola orchestrated a transfer to the Bundesliga side in December 2019, a move which has proven to be a success.

The 20-year-old has contributed 49 goals from as many appearances, resulting in the Norway international being linked with many of European football's biggest clubs.

At a time when Raiola has acknowledged that Dortmund were regarded as a 'safe' option, the forward's representative has talked up a future move to another team.

Speaking to The Athletic, Raiola said: "With Haaland, everybody was wrong. He did things much quicker than everybody imagined.

"Haaland is in front of his own development. He is ahead of his own schedule. Maybe I was too careful when I said, "Oh no, let's move to Dortmund instead of I-don't-know-where".

"This boy — I'm 100% convinced and everybody's convinced — can move to any club, wherever he wants, already on this level. And he could have done that last year."

Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid are all said to be interested in Haaland ahead of the summer transfer window.
