Erling Haaland will not be available at a reduced price this summer, a blow to teams like Manchester United and Manchester City.
The Borussia Dortmund striker has yet to spend 18 months at the Bundesliga club.
But it is already being linked to new pastures as an elite circle of Europe.
The 20-year-old has scored 41 goals in 42 games for the German team as he continues his rapid ascent.
United had strong ties to Haaland before they traded Red Bull Salzburg for Dortmund.
His rivals City are also credited with the interest, seeing the forward as a long-term successor to Sergio Agüero.
Rumors had circulated of a release clause in his contract, but that won’t come into play until the end of next season.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that his £ 65 million release clause cannot be activated until June 2022, although that is a private deal.
It echoes the words of Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke, who said last year: “No, there is no release clause in the summer of 2021 for Erling Haaland.”
Club boss Michael Zorc has also touched on Haaland’s future in the past insisting that he will be with the club for the long term.
“We plan long term with Erling. [Rumours] they don’t have to be treated at all, “he said.
“I will see him with us for a long time.”
Haaland’s father, Alfe-Inge, has also previously weighed in on his son’s future plans.
Although he recognized his son’s happiness at the Bundesliga club, he refused to rule out a change in the future.
“Now he’s happy in Dortmund, but Erling loves a challenge and you never know in football. We’ll see,” he said.
