Borussia Dortmund are prepared to double Erling Haaland's salary in a bid to keep hold of him for another season, according to reports.

The Norway international is under contract at Signal Iduna Park until 2024, but a release clause in his deal will allow him to depart for around £63m next summer.

The 21-year-old currently earns around £6.75m per year, which works out as just short of £130,000 per week.

Dortmund are willing to pay him closer to £260,000 per week if he commits to remaining at the club for another season.

And Mino Raiola, Haaland's outspoken agent, believes his client is likely to seek pastures new ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

"Maybe this summer, maybe the summer after. But there is a big chance that Erling will leave this summer. We will see," Raiola told Sport1 earlier this month.

"He is someone who wants to develop, who is looking for new challenges. And of course it's also a question of the alternative. You only change if you have a better alternative."
