Erling 'The Terminator' Haaland

Erling Haaland is amongst the hottest young prospects in the football world right now, valued at $150 million (and a release clause of $75 million which applies in 2022). 

The young Norwegian center forward started off his career at Bryne, and moved to Red Bull Salzburg in December 2019 to Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of $20 million (a bargain it turned out to be). At the time, Halland had already played in the U-19 World Cup 2019 (also won the Golden boot for the competition plus he scored 9 goals vs Honduras in the event), and even scored goals in Europe's most prized contest - the Uefa Champions League. He was, and is, also the only teenager to score in five consecutive UCL games. 



Currently, he has 37 goals in 38 games for Dortmund and his overall record there, so far, stands at 58 games with 56 goals. These numbers speak volumes for the man who has been on this relentless goal scoring form. Many dub him vs Mbappe as the new Messi-Ronaldo rivalry for this decade, although its nearly impossible to replicate the two GOATs of the game - but you get the gist of it. Haaland and Mbappe are the two highest valued footballers in the market currently with both being over $150 million or over - even in the pandemic. 

There are several clubs out there to sign the Norwegian Terminator but Dortmund are reluctant to sell for a sum even a dime less than their evaluation. La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are keen on the youngster alongside Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Manchester United - from the English Premiership. For now, Erling is happy at the club and would be likely to stay I they can offer him Champions League football for the next season. 



Wherever he decides to go is uncertain for now but if this boy keeps on going with these incredible numbers, there is absolutely no doubt this boy will dominate the footballing pyramid for the coming years. His athleticism, natural goal-scoring instinct, his physicality, raw power and strength and precise off the ball movement makes him a very lethal, if not the most lethal, weapon to have in your arsenal.
