Erling Haaland Next Club Odds - 27/05/20

Following a season that has seen him announce himself to the world as a goalscoring machine, it’s no surprise that Europe’s elite are chasing Erling Haaland still.

Despite only moving to Borussia Dortmund in January, the Norwegian talisman has lit up the Bundesliga as well as firing in the goals in the Champions League for both his current club and his former team, RB Salzburg.

It has made him one of the most wanted talents in the world today, and it’s easy to see why. Haaland’s incredible 10 goals in just 11 Bundesliga appearances, paired with the 10 in the Champions League has attracted interest from the heavyweights of world football from La Liga to the Premier League.

Any potential deal that does go ahead will likely be one of, if not the signing of the summer. BVB paid the bargain price of just £18m to secure the striker’s services in January and the sum of any move in the next window will probably be at least quadruple that.

We’ve looked at the latest odds from Paddy Power to see who the favourites are to land one of the most prolific strikers about today.

It’s been heavily rumoured that Real Madrid have been keeping tabs on Haaland and it’s no surprise that they’re the favourites to sign the 19-year-old at 11/4.

Zinedine Zidane’s team will more than likely be on the hunt for a striker to come in and be the alternative to 32-year-old Karim Benzema. At the same time, former Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic has failed to display the form that secured him the £54m move to the Bernabeu.

After just two goals in 15 league appearances, patience must be running out as the Madrid board are apparently looking to offload the Serbian, most likely on a loan deal, and make way for the arrival of a star like Haaland.

The prospect of joining one of the best teams in Europe could tempt the Norwegian, as well as linking up with compatriot Martin Odegaard. The winger has been on-loan from Madrid to Real Sociedad this season and has impressed thus far. Ultimately, he could be a key factor in convincing his international teammate to join Los Blancos when he returns from his loan spell.

Madrid’s Spanish rivals Barcelona are also likely to be after a striker in the summer and are a decent price of 15/2 to pip them in the race for Haaland.

Like their adversaries, the Catalan giants are expected to be chasing a signing up top, as they look to replace an aging Luis Suarez. The 33-year-old’s season has been dampened by injuries this season, with knee surgery limiting his game time. Now, Quique Setién’s side could well be looking at someone like the Dortmund man to come in and lead the line for years to come.

It’s also rumoured that Barcelona attempted to sign the Norwegian before his move to Dortmund in January but decided against it, allowing him to then make the move to Germany instead. Barca could reignite their interest in the youngster and finally get their man.

It's easy to forget that Haaland does hold a British passport when he was born in Leeds, whilst his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, was playing for Leeds United. Now, Manchester United are the favourites to sign the striker if he were to make a move to back 'home'.

United were heavily linked with the striker in the last window, as they looked to replace the gap up top that was still evident since Romelu Lukaku’s departure. The Red Devils ultimately ended up with the loan signing of Odion Ighalo from Shanghai Shenhua whilst Haaland joined Dortmund. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team may want to look at strengthening their options up top, especially if Ighalo ends up returning to his parent club without a permanent deal in place.

The relationship between Solskjaer and his compatriot could be a major selling point in any deal that sees the sharpshooter move to Old Trafford. The United legend mentored the teenager during his time in charge of hometown outfit Molde and formed a strong bond with the striker who he integrated into the first team.

Erling Haaland is a fair price of 10/1 to join Solskjaer in Manchester as the Red Devils look to continue to improve and the baby-faced assassin continues to improve his United project.

Haaland has shown that he already knows where the net is at Anfield, and he could be finding it more often if he completes a move to Merseyside.

The centre-forward scored in the Champions League group stage away game against Liverpool when coming on for just 34 minutes for Salzburg back in October. The Austrian side came third in Group E and missed out in knockout stage qualification in the group that contained Napoli and last years winners of the competition, but Haaland did impress with eight goals in six group games.

It wouldn’t be a shock if Jurgen Klopp poached the star striker from the club he managed to back-to-back league titles early last decade. Klopp will be a big fan of Haaland and similarities can be drawn with the current Dortmund man and the young Robert Lewandowski that announced himself to the world under Klopp for the Black and Yellows.

Liverpool’s German head coach could be tempted to go for the Norwegian, especially with all of his front three approaching their 30s - Haaland is 12/1 to join the Reds.

The possible uncertain future of Kylian Mbappe could see Paris Saint-Germain in need of a striker come the next window, which may see them offload one of the hottest strikers in the world with another.

French sensation Mbappe has been heavily linked as a solution to the goalscoring dilemma faced by Real Madrid, with rumours of the 21-year-old could follow his idol Zidane’s footsteps and be a part of a new galactico strike force. This could, in turn, leave the French champions looking for a new striker to be the spearhead of their attack alongside Neymar and Angel Di Maria.

The French outfit have dominated the domestic scene in their country as they cruised to yet another league title. They haven’t been able to hit the heights in Europe, however, and what better way to go about achieving success than to acquire the star that has shone in the bright lights of the Champions League.

PSG know first-hand what a goal machine Haaland can be after his two goals in the first leg of their knockout-stage fixture with Dortmund back in February, one of which was the thunderbolt that won the game - he is now 14/1 to join the French champions.
