Agent Mino Raiola has acknowledged that Borussia Dortmund want to retain the services of Erling Braut Haaland this summer.
While the forward has a release clause which becomes active in 2022, the form of the Norway international will inevitably lead to offers being made during the next transfer window.
The current financial climate may lead to Dortmund cashing in on their most prized asset, who will generate in excess of £100m for the German side.
Nevertheless, Raiola has revealed that the powers-that-be at the Westfalenstadion would prefer to keep hold of the 20-year-old for at least another season.
Speaking to Sport1, Raiola said: "I can confirm that I was in Dortmund for talks. Michael Zorc made it clear to us that BVB does not want to sell Erling this summer.
"I respect that opinion, but what does not automatically mean that I also agree. BVB were very clear in their views. We are okay with that."
Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been linked with Haaland in recent weeks.
