Mino Raiola, whose net worth is estimated at $50 million by Celebrity Net Worth, had a conversation on Erling Haaland's future with the Bundesliga giants this week. And he was later spotted in Barcelona alongside the striker's father. Sport reported that the super-agent had arrived in Barcelona to speak to president Joan Laporta, who has been keen on sealing the Erling Haaland transfer ever since his pre-election days. 

Indeed, Mino Raiola and Joan Laporta enjoy a cordial relationship. And the Barcelona president did not shy away from claiming that he would make use of his exceptional relationship with the Italian super-agent to bring in the Norwegian superstar to Camp Nou next summer. In fact, it has widely been reported recently that should Haaland play for Barcelona, the club is ready to pay him the second-highest salary amongst all players (only behind Lionel Messi). And if Messi does not stay beyond this summer at the club, then Haaland will be given leadership opportunities along with a hefty salary.

Amid the Erling Haaland Real Madrid link-ups, the agent's motive is very clear. Alf-Inge and Mino Raiola will hold discussions with the top five clubs in Europe and understand their proposals and projects for the 20-year-old. Meanwhile, Dortmund will not sell him for any amount fewer than €150 million. 

Will Erling Haaland Manchester City move materialise?

Premier League leaders Manchester City had been touted as the front runners until the Spain visit for the player's agent. Manchester City's focus on Erling Haaland could be comprehended from the recent update on Sergio Aguero. The club's all-time leading goalscorer sees off his contract once the current season concludes and had recently announced that he will leave the Etihad outfit, bringing an end to his decade long stint in the Premier League.
