Report: Erling Haaland makes astonishing transfer decision that Liverpool will be buzzing about
Erling Haaland reportedly reduced both his salary and agency fee demands this summer in preparation for a blockbuster transfer from Borussia Dortmund, with Liverpool among the clubs interested in the attacker.
According to Goal through The Sun, the attacker is willing to reduce his €50m (£42m) agency fee that Mino Raiola was supposed to pocket this summer, as well as his pay from €35m (£30m) to €20-€25m (£17m-£21m) per season.
Indeed, with every top club in Europe chasing the Bundesliga superstar, this one move might save the club that signs Haaland this summer millions in fees to agents and representatives as well as on the payroll.
Liverpool is one such club, with Mundo Deportivo recently suggesting that Haaland is being considered as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is set to leave Anfield this summer if he does not sign a new contract.
With Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich also interested in Haaland, this recent development could open the floodgates for clubs looking to sign the striker. However, for Liverpool, this update is cause for celebration.
After all, Haaland decreasing his financial demands is a significant deal for a team like Liverpool, who, unlike the Citys and Madrids of the world, don’t have an endless checkbook from which to spend.
And it is possible that the Reds will win the most important race of the summer based on this single decision.
Haaland’s move from Dortmund will be one of the biggest of the summer, and with the attacking wonder decreasing his price expectations, a club like Liverpool is now firmly in the running to recruit him.
A two-horse fight between City and Real Madrid for Haaland might now turn into a full-fledged struggle between all of Europe’s major clubs for the attacker, with Liverpool having a strong chance of signing the forward given what they can offer the 21-year-old.
