"It's Sunday, March 7, 2021, when [Mino] Raiola's phone rings. The agent knows the number and answers - "We need to talk!", Hasan Salihamidžić begins the conversation. It's been less than 24 hours since Erling Haaland and Dortmund lost 4-2 to FC Bayern. Dortmund were already aware that Haaland will not fulfill his contract, which runs until June 30, 2024."
"Haaland drives to Brazzo's house and finds himself face to face with the Bayern sporting director. "I like the house. I'd like to have it," Haaland tells Brazzo, before adding, "But for free!" The cheeky remark breaks the ice between the two. Haaland is impressed by how the Bayern management is acting as a team. They show him how the club is planning for him and how they intend to build the team around him."
On March 7, 2021 Hasan Salihamidžić phoned agent Mino Raiola less than 24 hours after Borussia Dortmund's 4-2 loss to FC Bayern. Dortmund knew Erling Haaland would not fulfill his contract, which runs until June 30, 2024, because of a €60 million release clause inserted when Haaland signed from Salzburg for €20 million. Raiola arranged a meeting at Salihamidžić's Munich home where Bayern presented plans to make Haaland central to the club's sporting future and pledged unprecedented financial efforts to sign him. Raiola then opened salary negotiations while Bayern prepared a formal offer and sought board approval.
