Borussia Dortmund have not given up hope of keeping hold of Erling Haaland for another season, according to reports.
The Norway international has been linked with several major clubs around Europe, including Premier League trio Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.
That is when a release clause in his contract kicks in, making the striker available for around £64m - a bargain in the current climate.
According to Marca, BVB are willing to double Haaland's wages in a bid to keep him at the club until 2023.
The Leeds-born centre-forward currently earns around £7.6m per year and Dortmund are prepared to pay him up to £15m annually if he agrees to stay put beyond this season.
However, the story states that Real Madrid is Haaland's preferred destination if he does depart next summer.
Given Madrid's very public pursuit of PSG and France forward Kylian Mbappe, it is perhaps a little surprising that Haaland wants to move to the Spanish capital.
Los Blancos are expected to sign Mbappe as a free agent next summer, and it had been suggested that Haaland might prefer to move elsewhere in order to be his new team's biggest star.
