Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Erling Haaland is being touted to every European super club this summer - with reports claiming Real Madrid are the latest club to be interested.
This transfer window has been a minefield for the biggest clubs in Europe to splash their cash on the world's top strikers.
Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez and Kylian Mbappe have all been linked with seismic moves away this summer as the transfer market recuperates from the pandemic.
And with Lukaku looking set to join Chelsea alongside Kane's refusal to attend training at Tottenham ahead of a potential move to Manchester City, there seems to be a month of wild activity ahead.
Haaland has a release clause of £68million in his contract which is active from next summer.
But in a bid to become the best sides in the world, some clubs are weighing up an early move this summer which could cost up to £150million.

The superagent has a history of controversy, with his influence meaning he is a nightmare for clubs to deal with.
Even if Dortmund allow the free-scoring striker to leave, it is obvious Real Madrid will have to break their transfer record.
This could offer Chelsea and Manchester City fresh hope.

With the Lukaku and Kane deals potentially reaching almost £120m and £140m respectively, it would make much more sense for them to move for the Norwegian.
Haaland's dad, Anf-Inge, played for City in a spell ranging from 2000-2003.
He played 38 league games for the Citizens, but will be remembered most for being on the end of a Roy Keane tackle that effectively ended his career.
