Mino Raiola: Haaland’s staying put
So will Haaland actually move this summer?
According to his agent Mino Raiola, that’s not going to happen.
Raiola, who reportedly earned €10 million from the Haaland transfer to Dortmund, recently told Marca (translated in the Daily Mail) that his client is staying at BVB this summer. He said:
He has to continue to grow. He will stay in Dortmund for as long as is necessary.
He is a great player. It is fun to watch him and see how each game develops.
Nobody thought that he would adapt so well to a team like Borussia.
It’s true that he is a footballer who is anticipating the stages of growth faster than you might think.
I don’t think that when he left [Red Bull] Salzburg it was the right time, but… I don’t think he’ll be leaving Dortmund this summer.
