ERLI MOVE
Mino Raiola reckons he may have been ‘too careful’ with his decision to move Erling Haaland on to Borussia Dortmund.
The Norwegian striker joined the German giants in January 2020 from Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg.
A number of Europe’s elite clubs were interested in signing the 20-year-old, including Premier League big boys Manchester United.
But Raiola opted against moving the hitman on to one of Europe’s big boys in order to further his progression, a decision he somewhat regrets given how prolific he’s been since joining Dortmund.
He told The Athletic: “With Haaland, everybody was wrong. He did things much quicker than everybody imagined.
“‘Haaland is in front of his own development. He is ahead of his own schedule.
“Maybe I was too careful when I said, ‘Oh no, let’s move to Dortmund instead of I-don’t-know-where.'”
