Erling Haaland's Premier League suitors receive major boost with Dortmund prodigy 'certain to look for way out this summer' but Real Madrid tied up with pursuit of Kylian Mbappe

Real Madrid's bid to sign Borussia Dortmund prodigy Erling Haaland could be scuppered if the striker seeks a move this summer in pursuit of Champions League football next season.

Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola, is said to have a verbal agreement with Madrid that his client will join the LaLiga leaders in 2022, but Dortmund's dwindling prospects of qualifying for the Champions League are likely to hasten the 20-year-old's departure.

Madrid president Florentino Perez's commitment to a move for Paris Saint-Germain hotshot Kylian Mbappe at the end of this season would rule Dortmund out of contention for Haaland at that point, according to AS.
