Raiola reveals 'clear plans' for Haaland amid Man City, Man Utd links

Mino Raiola has revealed he has "clear ideas" about Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland's future.

The Norway international is being targeted by Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus after scoring 74 goals in 72 appearances for Dortmund.

Reports have suggested a £64m release clause in Haaland's contract will be active at the end of the season, and Raiola has suggested there is a plan in place for what the 21-year-old will do next.

Speaking to Sport1, he said: "We have been thinking, doing and planning for two years. We have clear ideas about where we want Erling to go and, of course, we are looking at what the market has to offer. I would be a bad advisor if I didn't do that.

"We can influence the market with a player like Erling. It's not the market that influences us. We know that.

"With my players, I have changed the transfer market. We advisors have created a second game besides football - the transfer market.

"Now we talk about a game two days a week and transfers five days a week. Maybe the sports directors hate me. I don't hate anyone myself. I just do my job. And I like to go beyond boundaries."
