Reports | RB Leipzig have first refusal on any move for Erling Haaland

Despite reports indicating that Erling Haaland visited both training grounds, Arsenal and Manchester United could miss out on the Norwegian starlet. The 19-year-old has been in phenomenal form for RB Salzburg and has been linked with a move to England, Germany, France, Italy and even Spain. But that could all change with the Daily Mail and the Mirror reporting that RB Leipzig have first refusal on a move for the teenage striker.

The report further added that since the two clubs share the same owner there is a contractual tie-up between the two branded clubs with a reported £25 million release clause. It’s a release clause that only Leipzig can activate which effectively gives them first refusal on a move. Not only that, RB Leipzig Sporting Director Markus Krosche hinted at a move for Haaland and reports have indicated that Julian Naglesmann wants the 19-year-old wonderkid in his team.

That does cause a few problems for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the Manchester United manager keen on a move for his former Molde star. He fits the vision that Solskjaer wants to implement with the Red Devils, with Moussa Dembele and Jadon Sancho also linked with a move.
