Borussia Dortmund have grand plans to alter future of Erling Haaland Borussia Dortmund are working hard behind the scenes to propose a new contract for Erling Haaland which would see his current release clause changed.

Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke is well aware of the interest in Haaland. But he also knows that not too many teams can afford the whole €315m Haaland package.
