Tottenham are one of several European clubs to have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland over the past year.
Spurs were said to be ‘very interested’ in signing Haaland in January before he completed a move to Dortmund (Alfredo Pedulla).
TuttoMercatoWeb reported back in March that Haaland was very much still on Tottenham’s radar this summer, although the rumour does appear far-fetched looking at how well the Norwegian international has done since his move to the Bundesliga.
However, there has been speculation suggesting that the striker has a £63 million release clause in his contract with Dortmund (talkSPORT), which could give the Lilywhites some hope.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that Tottenham are still unlikely to make a move for the 19-year-old given the amount of interest he is generating from big clubs across Europe.
Inter Milan legend, Christian Vieri, has now suggested that the striker is likely to move to a European giant for a world record transfer fee when he eventually leaves Dortmund.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Vieri said: “In a couple of years he will go to a great team for €200 million, maybe €300 million (£260 million).

Spurs Web Opinion
We have no chance of signing Haaland now given how well he’s playing in Dortmund and I suspect the club have long given up hopes of landing the Norwegian. I believe he is Real Madrid-bound whenever he decides to leave the Westfalenstadion and he could well end up being the most expensive transfer in history.
