Erling Haaland is a wanted man, we all know that, but Borussia Dortmund don&#8217;t want to sell him. Or at least that is what they&#8217;re saying.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]  
With Haaland&#8217;s agent Mino Raiola and his father, Alf Inge, going on a recent tour of Spain to meet with officials of Barcelona and Real Madrid about buying Haaland, plus reported meeting with English clubs, it looks increasingly likely the Norwegian sensation will move on this summer.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has said that won&#8217;t be the case, but the with the Bundesliga giants currently seven points off the top four with six games of the season to go, qualification for the UEFA Champion League next season looks very unlikely.
&#8220;I like to stick to what the contractual basis looks like and how the direct discussions were held last week. We have very clear plans to go into the new season with Erling,&#8221; Zorc said recently.
<h4>What is the latest update on Erling Haaland?</h4>
Raiola thinks otherwise.
Haaland, 20, has a clause in his contract in the summer of 2022 which will see him available for $90 million, but it is believed the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona and others are scrambling to try and sign the prolific forward this summer.
&#8220;I can confirm that I&#8217;ve been in Dortmund. Michael Zorc &#8211; Dortmund&#8217;s sporting director &#8211; made very clear that they don&#8217;t want to sell Erling. I respect it but it doesn&#8217;t mean that I agree. There is no war between me and Dortmund,&#8221; Raiola told German TV&#8217;s Sport1.
There may be no war, but the battle has commenced.
Raiola has very publicly traipsed around Europe with the intention of letting clubs know that negotiations to buy Haaland can begin. And with 49 goals in 52 appearances for Dortmund in all competitions over the last 14 months, why wouldn&#8217;t clubs be scrambling over each other to sign him Haaland?
For Dortmund, this is a tough one. Publicly they have to make it look like they don&#8217;t want to sell Haaland, but with no Champions League next season their finances would take a huge hit and selling Haaland would allow them to cover that gap, and then some.
Jadon Sancho doesn&#8217;t seem likely to move on given his inconsistent season, while Gio Reyna and Jude Bellingham are rising stars but not ready to be sold for big bucks. Yet. Dortmund will be hit hard if Haaland leaves this summer, but with so many clubs wanting to sign him and in need of a goalscorer, Dortmund know they could get close to $130-150 million this summer if they play their cards right.
Raiola knows that too. Even if he seems to be reluctantly explaining that Dortmund don&#8217;t want to sell, that will only crank up the pressure on buying clubs to spend extra cash. Raiola and Dortmund will then be the big winners. This is the way it works, folks.

Manchester United have dropped to fourth place in the global rich list, complied by Forbes, as clubs from the Premier League dominate the top 20 most valuable clubs.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]   
Despite reporting severe financial issues and debt, Barcelona sit in top spot for the first time with a value of $4.76 billion as they just pipped bitter rivals Real Madrid who slipped from top spot to second.
Manchester United have a value of $4.2 billion, with Bayern Munich just ahead of them and Liverpool just behind them in fifth at $4.1 billion. Man United have been in top spot for 11 of the last 16 years, and were in third in the last rankings.
According to the <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2021/04/12/the-worlds-most-valuable-soccer-teams-barcelona-on-top-at-48-billion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">release</a> from Forbes, the value of Liverpool has rocketed in the past two years by 88 percent. That comes after Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side won the UEFA Champions League and then the Premier League in back-to-back seasons.
&#8220;The world’s 20 most valuable soccer teams are worth an average of $2.28 billion apiece, an increase of 30% from two years ago, the last time we published the ranking,&#8221; Forbes said in a statement. &#8220;The jump comes despite a decline in revenue caused by limited attendance during the pandemic, with buyers focused on what they see as still untapped revenue potential in the sport’s massive global following.&#8221;
PSG have the biggest two-year increase in the top 20, at 129 percent, while Dortmund are second on that metric at 112 percent.
Nine of the top 20 clubs are from the Premier League, with three from Spain, four from Italy, two from Germany and one team from France and Holland.
Below is the list of the top 20 in full.

The son of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Noah, has hit back at Jose Mourinho after he slammed Solskjaer for his comments about Son.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]  
Confused? Well, that&#8217;s fair enough, because this is one of the more confusing Premier League manager spats in history.
Following United&#8217;s 2-1 win at Tottenham on Sunday, <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/solskjaer-derides-var-decision-manchester-united-losing-perfectly-good-goal" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Solskjaer criticized Heung-min Son for going down too easily</a> as United had a goal ruled out by VAR for a foul on Son by Scott McTominay.
&#8220;I have to say, if my son stays down for three minutes and he needs his 10 mates to help him up, he won’t get any food,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after Son went down when hit in the face by McTominay.
<a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/mourinho-solskjaer-son-comments-quotes-video-reaction" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mourinho responded angrily</a>, saying: &#8220;Sonny is very lucky that his father is a better person than Ole. Because a father, I am a father, you always have to feed your kids. Doesn’t matter what they do. If you have to steal to feed your kids, you steal. I am very disappointed.&#8221;
<h4>Noah Solskjaer has his say on his father</h4>
Noah Solskjaer, 20, told Norwegian outlet <a href="https://www.tk.no/noah-kan-ikke-annet-enn-a-le-av-mourinhos-ordkrig-med-pappa/s/5-51-969222?&amp;session=705184b4-bf13-4b4e-9852-28f07cf9ed77" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tidens Krav</a> the following, as the Kristiansund midfielder fired a few shots back at Mourinho too.
&#8220;I always get food, I can assure everyone about that. [Team-mate] Max [Williamsen] asked me if I had been given food when he met me before training. I have never been lying down the way Son did. Mourinho probably just wanted to take the focus away from the fact that they had lost,&#8221; Noah Solskjaer said.
This is turning into a very &#8216;he said, she said&#8217; type of argument, but it is sure to add some extra spice the next time Solskjaer and Mourinho face each other. That&#8217;s if the latter is still in charge at Spurs next season.

The transfer news is really heating up as Jesse Lingard to Arsenal, PSG, Real Madrid or Inter Milan and Marouane Fellaini to Tottenham are two of the latest reports.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]
When it comes to Lingard, he is being chased by so many clubs as his incredible loan spell at West Ham has definitely seen his stock soar.
Let&#8217;s focus on two attacking midfielders potential heading to north London&#8230;

<h4>Jesse Lingard to Arsenal, PSG, Inter Milan or Real Madrid</h4>
Lingard is having an amazing time on loan at West Ham, scoring eight goals and adding three assists in his first nine games for the Hammers.
Will he head back to Manchester United this summer when his loan ends? Will he join West Ham permanently? Or will he join another club?
The Hammers do not have an option to buy Lingard permanently, but if he leads them to a top four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification, surely he will join them permanently at the London Stadium?
A report from the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-jesse-lingard-west-ham-23889645" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Daily Star</a> says that Arsenal want to sign Lingard this summer, as the Gunners missed out on grabbing him on loan in January because United didn&#8217;t want to send him to a direct rival. It is also based on whether or not Mikel Arteta can sign loanee Martin Odegaard permanently from Real Madrid, and if they can&#8217;t then Lingard will be a top option.
Another report from <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4358163/psg-real-madrid-inter-milan-monitoring-lingards-situation-at-man-united-sources" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ESPN</a> states that Real Madrid, PSG and Inter Milan are all keeping a close eye on his situation. Wow. Take a moment to digest that.
Lingard, 28, is expected to play for England at the European Championships this summer and on current form perhaps this report isn&#8217;t too wild. After all, Lingard could start ahead of Jack Grealish, James Maddison, Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho, and that is no mean feat.
Still, it&#8217;s tough to see those European giants making a big move for Lingard, but you could see Inter making a loan bid as Antonio Conte loves to head to United with Lukaku, Sanchez and Young all making that move in recent seasons.
Whatever happens in the next few months, Lingard will be a man in demand and with his contract at United running until the summer of 2022, the Red Devils will surely be able to ask for over $30 million for the playmaker.
Lingard&#8217;s loan move to West Ham has to go down as one of the best ever.

<h4>Fellaini to link up with Mourinho at Tottenham?</h4>
Now, this is probably not the news Tottenham fans wanted to hear the day after they saw their team smashed by Manchester United to leave their top four hopes in tatters. But here it is.
Jose Mourinho is reportedly planning a reunion with Marouane Fellaini, as the Belgium national team midfielder, 33, has a contract with Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng which runs out in December, but he could be allowed to leave on a free this summer.
Belgian outlet <a href="https://www.voetbal24.be/news/69168/marouane-fellaini-verlaat-china-en-maakt-spectaculaire-comeback-bij-dze-topclub" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Voetbal24</a> has the report, as Fellaini reportedly wants to return to Europe.
Fellaini was one of Mourinho&#8217;s most-trusted players at United and helped them win the League Cup and Europa League in 2017. His style of play isn&#8217;t for everyone, and it is tough to predict Mourinho being at Spurs next season at this point, but would this be a good move for all concerned?
For Fellaini, yes. For Tottenham, financially yes. But is Fellaini an upgrade on the scarcely used Dele Alli? Probably not.
If Mourinho is still in charge at Tottenham next season, this could happen, as Fellaini would make Spurs nastier to play against and that is something Mourinho wants to, and has to, change

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hammered referee Chris Kavanagh for his decision to overturn, via video review, Manchester United&#8217;s opening goal against Tottenham on Sunday.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/mourinho-solskjaer-son-comments-quotes-video-reaction" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mourinho slams Solskjaer after Son comments</a> ]
&#8220;The game has gone — game has absolutely gone,&#8221; Solskjaer proclaimed at the decision to deem Scott McTominay&#8217;s inadvertent slap to the face of Son Heung-min a foul not long before Edinson Cavani briefly put Manchester United ahead.
Most notably, Solskjaer was quite critical of the toughness and honor, or the perceived lack thereof, on display by Son — <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/56409375" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">quotes from the BBC</a>:
<blockquote>
&#8220;The game has gone — game has absolutely gone.
&#8220;If that&#8217;s a clear and obvious error, it&#8217;s an obvious error he had to look at it. It was a perfectly good goal.
&#8220;We shouldn&#8217;t be conned. I have to say, if my son stays down for three minutes and he needs his 10 mates to help him up, he won&#8217;t get any food.
&#8220;We weren&#8217;t conned, the referee was.
&#8220;That kick-started us. [Before the goal] we had played like a team who had played in Europe on a Thursday night [last time out].
&#8220;Top reaction, we played some great stuff second half. We felt the injustice and we showed good character to come back. We can&#8217;t let those decisions ruin this good season for us.
&#8220;The goals we scored were excellent. Edinson [Cavani] shows why he&#8217;s a number nine. Fred even scores, that just shows us how good we were.&#8221;
</blockquote>
As for the future of Cavani, who in recent days has been linked with a summer move to Argentine giant Boca Juniors, Solskjaer had nothing but good things to say about his Uruguayan striker. He&#8217;d love to have him back at Manchester United for another season, but he understands if it&#8217;s not in the cards.
<blockquote>&#8220;For a new lad who doesn&#8217;t speak English and not having his family over here, of course it&#8217;s in the back of his head. Fingers crossed. If he decides it&#8217;s just the season, then we&#8217;d be very happy to have had him here.&#8221;</blockquote>

Solskjaer derides VAR decision, Man United losing ‘perfectly good goal’

Jose Mourinho has hit out at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after he criticized Heung-min Son for going down easily as Manchester United had a goal disallowed by VAR at Tottenham.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ] 
United thought they had gone 1-0 up early when Scott McTominay brushed off Son and Edinson Cavani ended up scoring.
But referee Chris Kavanagh was told by VAR to use the pitch-side monitor and ended up ruling out the goal for a foul on Son by McTominay, as the United defender lightly struck Spurs&#8217; forward in the face.
<a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/tottenham-manchester-united-video-highlights-reaction-analysis" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Following their 3-1 win at Tottenham</a>, Solskjaer told our partners at Sky Sports this when asked about United&#8217;s disallowed goal.
&#8220;The game has gone. Game has absolutely gone. If that’s a clear and obvious error, it’s an obvious error he had to look at it. It was a perfectly good goal. We shouldn’t be conned. I have to say, if my son stays down for three minutes and he needs his 10 mates to help him up, he won’t get any food,&#8221; Solskjaer said.
<h4>What was the response from Mourinho?</h4>
Mourinho was fuming in his post-match press conference with reporters, which ProSoccerTalk was in, and this was his answer when asked about the Son incident generally as he then walked out.
&#8220;I&#8217;m very surprised that after the comments that Ole made on Sonny you don&#8217;t ask me about it,&#8221; Mourinho said. &#8220;I said this to Ole already because I met him just a few minutes ago. If it is me saying that player A, B or C from another club: &#8216;If it was my son, I wouldn&#8217;t give him dinner tonight,&#8217; or something like that, what would be the reaction of that club?
&#8220;It is very, very sad. I think it is really sad that you don&#8217;t ask me about it, it&#8217;s really sad you don&#8217;t have the moral honesty to treat me that same way you treat others.
&#8220;In relation to that, Sonny is very lucky that his father is a better person than Ole. Because a father, I am a father, you always have to feed your kids. Doesn&#8217;t matter what they do. If you have to steal to feed your kids, you steal. I am very disappointed. In Portugal we say &#8216;bread is bread and cheese is cheese&#8217; I told Ole already what I think about his comments and I have to tell you I am very disappointed that in five, six, seven questions you ignored the dimension of that comment.&#8221;
We haven&#8217;t heard the last of this.
Solskjaer and Mourinho were going at it on the sidelines in the first half and at half time they were shown in an embrace walking down the tunnel.
United&#8217;s manager was asked about that, and said this a few minutes before Mourinho went off on his rant.
&#8220;The most important thing is that we are good colleagues, call it friends, before, after and sometimes during a game you can have a little bit of a dispute and I think we have got the utmost respect for each other. That is the point here. Sometimes some words being said that, I had a couple of words I can take back at that time.&#8221;

Tottenham &#8211; Manchester United underlined what we knew about both teams as Spurs threw away a lead and United surged back to secure yet another away win.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]  
Heung-min Son put Tottenham ahead after Edinson Cavani had a goal controversially ruled out, but Fred equalized early in the second half and then Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood scored to power the Red Devils to victory.
With the win United now have 63 points and sit second in the table, while Spurs sit seventh and have 49 points as they are now six points off the top four with seven games to go.

<h4>Three things we learned: Tottenham &#8211; Manchester United</h4>
1. Same old story for Spurs: We&#8217;ve seen this before, many times. Spurs were 1-0 up and then sat back and had no control on the game. That allowed United to surge to victory and Jose Mourinho will have a serious case of deja vu as they have now dropped the second-highest number of points (18) from winning positions in the PL this season. This has happened so many times this season and as he keeps lambasting his players, you can see they have no confidence in their own defensive ability. If he&#8217;s in charge next season he basically needs a whole new defensive unit, or a different style of play. They cannot keep sitting back after going ahead. They have to fight fire with fire, for once.
2. Cavani&#8217;s class shines through: He is 34 and he may leave United this summer, so let&#8217;s enjoy Cavani while we can. The Uruguayan star scored one that was ruled out, went close on other occasions and then his diving header put United 2-1 up. His movement is class and he headed off his own line late on to secure the win, and now his future will be in the headlines. United have an option to renew his deal by another year but he has been linked with a move to Boca Juniors and Solskjaer wants to keep him, but won&#8217;t stand in his way. Aside from his goals, Cavani is showing these young United attackers about desire and hunger and the levels you have to reach to succeed. United have grit and spirit as yet another comeback win showcased that, and it will be intriguing to see if Cavani stays beyond this summer.
3. VAR again in the headlines: Son was flicked in the face by McTominay in the build up to a Cavani goal in the first half and referee Chris Kavanagh was eventually told to look at the pitch-side monitor by VAR. He did and decided McTominay fouled Son and ruled out the goal. The touch was slight, but if it was a foul, surely McTominay should have received a second yellow? The contact was there but sometimes we forget soccer is a contact sport and this decision felt wrong. This was not a good weekend for VAR, and how extensively it is used (or if it is used at all) must surely come into question this summer. This can&#8217;t go on. Referees are confusing themselves and the fabric of the game is being altered in a way nobody really wants.
<h4>Man of the Match: Edinson Cavani &#8211; His goal was class, his movement was class, and he showed hunger throughout. </h4>

Marcus Rashford had an early shot deflected wide after a good run from Paul Pogba created the chance. And then after Tottenham started to control the game a huge moment of controversy arrived.
Scott McTominay started a move which ended in Pogba brilliantly nutmegging Serge Aurier to set up Cavani to slot home, but VAR was used to rule out the goal. McTominay pushed his hand into the face of Son in the build-up and referee Chris Kavanagh looked at the pitch-side monitor and ruled it out.
Then as Solskjaer and his players fumed, Tottenham took the lead.
A flowing move saw Kane find Lucas Moura and he squared for Son to slot home to give Spurs the lead.

Rashford had a chance at the start of the second half as United got on the front foot.
Cavani almost snuck in but Joe Rodon cleared, then moments later he was denied by Hugo Lloris and the rebound dropped to Fred who finished to make it 1-1.
Son then lashed a shot on goal which Dean Henderson saved as the game opened up in the final stages. Lloris denied Fernandes and Pogba went close, while Dean Henderson denied Kane at the near post.
Then at the other end United, deservedly, won it.
Fernandes flicked an outrageous nutmeg pass to Greenwood and the sub whipped in a perfect cross which Cavani headed home into the bottom corner.
Cavani then cleared off his own line at the other end as Pogba flicked towards his own goal but Cavani somehow headed against his own post and out.
Greenwood then finished after great work from Pogba as United got the win they deserved.

This game underlined what we know about both teams as Tottenham threw away a lead and United surged back to secure yet another away win.

With Liverpool across the field and Tottenham facing second-place Manchester United, a win could have them closing ground on both.
Villa is desperate to keep its European hopes in order but its run-in is brutal; Man City is next and there&#8217;s a pair of matches with Everton on the docket. Manchester United, Tottenham, and Chelsea are also still to come this season.
Liverpool knows this is a chance to climb nearer to the top four, with the Spurs-United match joined by West Ham-Leicester.

Harry Kane leaving Tottenham is something that Spurs fans have been preparing for ever since, well, his first few months as a Tottenham player.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/p/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule" target="_blank">How to watch PL in the USA</a> ]   
A report from <a href="https://t.co/w98AV0WI1u" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> states that Kane, 27, is putting the building blocks in place to leave Tottenham this summer if they don’t qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Spurs are currently three points off the top four with eight games of the season to go.
Kane has been linked with Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid and many others, and the England captain has had a sensational season for Spurs, as he leads the Premier League in goals (19) and assists (13).
With strikers in huge demand this summer (hello Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Sergio Aguero, Danny Ings and many others) Kane’s name could be added to the list of transfer targets.
<h4>Is this the right time for Harry Kane to move on?</h4>
Per the report, Kane feels this summer would be the right time to move on for his career if Tottenham don’t finish in the top four. Although he also realizes that clubs may not have the transfer funds to buy him, as finances (even for the mega clubs) have been hit hard by the pandemic.
As for Kane, he is locked down for another three years at Tottenham and that contract length remaining means that Daniel Levy will want way over $200 million for his star man. Is that going to happen? Probably not.
Everybody knew it was going to get to this point and with Tottenham appearing to be going backwards under Jose Mourinho (their Europa League exit and general style of play this season suggests as much) but Kane having one of his best overall campaigns, he has finally outgrown Tottenham.
Kane could stay at Tottenham his entire career and become their all-time leading goalscorer, one of the greatest players in their history and break every record going, but does he want more than that? Does he want to win trophies and play in the Champions League every season? If he does, he will have to move on. If he can.
Again, Tottenham could still finish in the top four and win the League Cup this season, so that isn’t a terrible campaign, but now feels like the right time for Kane to be exploring when, and more importantly where, he can move.
