Erling Braut Haaland says Real Madrid transfer links are "nice"

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland said that it is "nice" to be linked with Real Madrid when asked how it felt to be wanted by the Spanish club's supporters.

The 20-year-old is enjoying another remarkable campaign for BVB, finding the back of the net on 25 occasions in 24 appearances in all competitions, including eight goals in five Champions League outings.

The Norway international scored a brace in Dortmund's 3-2 win over Sevilla in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on Wednesday night.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona and Manchester United have all been strongly linked with the striker, while Madrid are also said to be determined to bring him to the Bernabeu.

"It's always nice if someone wants you," Haaland told reporters when asked how he felt about the Spanish side's supporters calling for him to arrive in Madrid.

Haaland is unlikely to be allowed to leave Signal Iduna Park during this summer's transfer window, but a £68m release clause in his contract can be activated at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
