Borussia Dortmund chief details latest conversation he had with Mino Raiola about Erling Haaland

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc told Mino Raiola the club does not want to sell Erling Haaland this summer.

MEN Sport understands that Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and football director John Murtough have settled on the Borussia Dortmund forward as their top striker priority.

Equally, Manchester City are confident of luring the Norwegian striker to the Etihad Stadium to replace the outgoing Sergio Aguero, with a marquee striker signing planned by Pep Guardiola.

Barcelona and Real Madrid had also been linked and Raiola was spotted alongside Haaland's father, Alfe-Inge, on Thursday at Barcelona airport for talks with their sporting director Joan Laporta.

"Yesterday I spoke to Mino Raiola. We’ve made our intentions very clear", Zorc told Sky Germany, with the outlet adding Dortmund have no plans to sell Haaland and wouldn't accept any offer below €150million.

Previously, Zorc had admitted it would be difficult to retain Haaland if the club didn't qualify for the Champions League.

Dortmund currently sit fifth in the Bundesliga after a disappointing domestic season, four points behind Eintracht Frankfurt who occupy the final European place.

"We will try to keep Erling Haaland as long as possible for sporting reasons," Zorc said last month.

"I have never seen someone like him. We can search Europe-wide. If he ever left us somewhere, there would only be a handful of clubs.

"We don't want to play in the Europa League on Thursdays. We want to give our calling card in the Champions League."
