New detail emerge in Erling Haaland’s release clause

A new detail has emerged on Erling Haaland’s release clause that had many clubs ready to bid for the player.

The Norwegian starlet has a €75 million release clause in his Borussia Dortmund contract which many thought would come active in the summer but according to a new report from Sportbild, the agreement is only valid until April 30th.

This would mean that the player will have to inform his club that he wants to leave within the next month or risk his fee being hiked by the Bundesliga club in the summer.
