# Liverpool remain ‘in the picture’ for Erling Haaland transfer

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/02/24/reported-liverpool-target-paulo-dybala-still-under-contract-cloud/) remain ‘in the picture’ for the signing of Borussia Dortmund superstar [Erling Haaland](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/02/17/blow-for-liverpool-as-haaland-is-being-tracked-by-man-city-and-man-united/), according to a report from [Eurosport](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/transfers/2020-2021/erling-haaland-chelsea-growing-more-confident-of-winning-transfer-race-transfer-notebook_sto8145252/story.shtml).

Whilst the report claimed that Chelsea as the leading contenders to land the 20-year-old, the Reds continue to ‘monitor the situation’ along with Premier League rivals Manchester City and Manchester United, as well as Real Madrid.

Haaland is a much sought-after talent, and with a [€75m (£64.55m) release clause](https://www.90min.com/in/posts/erling-haaland-s-borussia-dortmund-release-clause-will-be-activated-in-2022-for-75m-01enma39btb6)becoming active in the summer of 2022, there is plenty of speculation over where his future may lie.

Should Dortmund [fail to qualify for the Champions League](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/table) next season, [Eurosport](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/transfers/2020-2021/erling-haaland-chelsea-growing-more-confident-of-winning-transfer-race-transfer-notebook_sto8145252/story.shtml) suggested that the [Norwegian goal machine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/nationalmannschaft/spieler/418560/verein_id/3440) could leave Germany at the of this campaign.

Since landing in the Bundesliga [from Red Bull Salzburg](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50940894) last year, Haaland has gone from strength to strength and currently sits on an astonishing [27 goals in 25 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/leistungsdaten/spieler/418560) this season across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

As statements of intent go, signing Haaland is among the biggest that any club could make at the moment. Just 20, the Leeds-born wonderkid truly has the world at his prolific feet and has already surged to seventh in the list of most valuable players in the world at [£99m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/marktwertverlauf/spieler/418560), according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marktwertetop/wertvollstespieler) – the youngest to do so among his peers.

As Jurgen Klopp potentially looks to reinvent the wheel this summer, [utilising a focal point forward](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1332900/Liverpool-transfer-news-Roberto-Firmino-Jurgen-Klopp) and moving away from the [false nine setup which has served him so well](https://www.planetfootball.com/trending/roberto-firmino-isnt-liverpools-false-nine-hes-their-perfect-nine/), there is perhaps no better candidate than Haaland.

Klopp should use any credit he may have in the bank with his former employers to make this deal a reality.
