The 19-year-old, who was at RB Salzburgl snubbed a move to Manchester United in January in favour of an £18.5m switch to the German side.
But he has a release clause that would allow him to leave for just £50m and the LaLiga giants will trigger it in the summer, according to the Standard.
Ole Gunner Solskjaer was hell bent on landing his countryman at United.
The Man Utd boss even travelled to Salzburg on December 13 to meet with the player in a desperate bid to tie up the deal.
But his father, former Leeds ace Alf-Inge Haaland, insisted it was only Solskjaer that wanted his son – and his job was not guaranteed at the time.
Two-cap Norway international Haaland has hit the ground running since he made the move to Germany.
He has proved his potential after scoring 12 goals in just 11 games for the Bundesliga giants.
That followed his 28 goals in 21 games for RB Salzburg in the first half of the season.
But despite his red hot start, super agent Mino Raiola thinks he still has a long way to go.
He said: “He has a lot to improve yet. He’ll be at Dortmund for as long as he needs to be.
“It’s true that he is a footballer who is anticipating the stages of growth faster than you might think.
“I don’t think that when he left [Red Bull] Salzburg it was the right time, but… I don’t think he’ll be leaving Dortmund this summer.”
