Erling Haaland has reportedly lowered both his salary and agent fee demands this summer ahead of a blockbuster transfer from Borussia Dortmund, with Liverpool one of the clubs interested in the striker.
According to Goal via the Sun, the attacker is willing to lower his €50m (£42m) agent fee that Mino Raiola was expected to pocked this summer, with the 21-year-old also open to reducing his salary from €35m (£30m) to €20-€25m (£17m-£21m) per season.
Indeed, this one decision could save the club that signs Haaland this summer millions in fees to agents and representatives as well as on the payroll, with every top side in Europe after the Bundesliga superstar.
And one such club is Liverpool, with Mundo Deportivo recently reporting that Haaland is being eyed by the Reds as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who could leave Anfield this summer if he fails to sign a new contract.
With Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also in the mix for Haaland, this latest piece of news could open the floodgates on clubs trying to sign the striker. Yet for Liverpool, this update is something to celebrate.
After all, Haaland lowering his financial demands is a big boost for a side like Liverpool, who unlike the City’s and Madrid’s of the world don’t have an infinite wallet to spend from. And this sole decision could see the Reds win the biggest race of all this summer.
Haaland’s financial update is massive for clubs like Liverpool
Haaland’s move from Dortmund will be one of the biggest of the summer, and for a side like Liverpool, they are now well in the competition to sign the striker with the attacking phenom lowering his financial demands.
A two-horse race for Haaland in City and Madrid could now potentially explode into a full-on battle from all of Europe’s biggest clubs for the attacker, and for Liverpool, they have a strong chance of signing the forward given what they can offer to the 21-year-old.
