The Norway international reportedly has a release clause in his contract with Borussia Dortmund that will become active in the summer. He has already attracted interest from several clubs across Europe.

Erling Haaland, on the other hand, has scored 19 goals from 15 matches so far this term while also providing five assists in the process. The striker, though, could not prevent Borussia Dortmund from bowing out of the Champions League.
