MANCHESTER UNITED will need to fork out £91million to land transfer target Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, according to reports.
After missing out on his signature in January, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is plotting ahead to make another move for the star striker in 2022.
The teen sensation has a £64m release clause in his contract that comes into effect in 18-months time.
But Mundo Deportivo write how that does not include fees paid to his family, agents and other commissions.
Haaland’s agent Mino Raiola is to pocket a huge chunk of the £18m set to be paid to those brokering the deal.
And the remaining £9m will be paid to the Haaland family, including his dad and former Man City player Alf, once he finally makes the switch.
His availability is set to spark a transfer scramble among Europe’s top clubs as it emerges Barcelona are set to enter the fray.
The Catalan giants will hold their presidential elections on January 24 and a number of candidates have reportedly stated their intentions to bring Haaland to the Nou Camp.
Real Madrid have been heavily linked as they look for a long-term replacement to fill Karim Benzema’s boots.
Haaland has 33 goals in 32 appearances for the German side since joining in January.

He has also bagged 16 career goals in the Champions League as he closes in on Solskjaer’s record.
Solskjaer is currently the highest-scoring Norwegian in the competition with 19 goals to his name, while John Carew is second with 18.
And the United boss is backing him to smash the record, saying: “He will beat it [the record] very easily.
“The boy was great to work with and some part of me feels proud to have a little input in such a rise.
“I’m sure Erling will score many goals in the Champions League.”
