“Up until now, it had been widely accepted that the clause would only become active in the summer of 2022, but according to
Marca, it actually springs into life the moment the 2021 summer transfer window slams shut.
It is claimed that Haaland's initial promise to
Dortmund when he joined back in January 2020 was that he would spend at least two years with the club, who agreed to give him the freedom he was looking for in the form of this release clause.”
“Marca also claims that by the terms of the same clause, Haaland is allowed to start speaking to other clubs from September 1st in respect of that move.
‘Haaland, a signing for September 1.
‘On that date his new clause comes into force, which could drop to €75 million, and a legal mechanism is activated that allows him to seek a new destination outside Borussia Dortmund.’
Marca adds that despite agent Mino Raiola’s best efforts, Real Madrid have not yet shown a great deal of interest in his player.
‘During his visit to Madrid, he expected more and even a beginning of agreement, something that does not exist.”
