Erling Haaland ‘reduces astronomical salary and agent fees demands’ as Real Madrid hope to beat Man City to transfer
BORUSSIA DORTMUND superstar Erling Haaland has reduced his massive salary and agent fee demands, reports suggest.
Haaland has been linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs, with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona posing as his likeliest destinations ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Goal, the star striker is willing to lower his €50million (£42.3m) commission demands.
The 21-year-old is also open to reducing his salary from €35m (£29.6m) to €20-€25m (£16.9m-£21.2m) per season.
That is a very positive development for his suitors, especially Barcelona who are still dealing with financial issues.
Real and City are currently leading the way in the battle for the Norway international.

Haaland still has a bargain release clause in his contract that allows him to leave Dortmund for £64m.
However, the chance to sign the Norwegian talisman for a significantly lower price reportedly runs out at the end of April - so a deal must be reached before then.
The former Red Bull Salzburg star will then of course command an astronomical fee to prise away from the Westfalenstadion.
Haaland has been on fire this season despite a string of injury problems along the way.
