Borussia Dortmund director Sebastien Kehl has affirmed that the Black and Yellow are still planning for the future with Erling Braut Haaland at the club.
The Norwegian starlet's father Alf-Inge Haaland and agent Mino Raiola have already touched base with Barcelona and Real Madrid, and the pair are understood to be planning talks with a number of Premier League sides in the coming weeks.
Dortmund have frequently reiterated their desire to keep Haaland at the Westfalenstadion, and Kehl has affirmed that he remains relaxed about the situation, but he accepts that the club may eventually be powerless to influence what happens in the future.
Speaking to Sky Deutschland, Kehl said: "Our position is clear: we are planning with Erling. We are very relaxed about that. Of course, we have been following the situation. But we had a very, very good talk with Mino and [Haaland's] father just recently.
"I don't want to go into those talks now. From a certain point on, we may no longer be able to influence what the future will bring.
"I have seen the boy in training in the last two days and I have seen how hungry he is and the sparkle is in his eyes. We are very ambitious, we need Erling to achieve our sporting goals, and we have made that clear."
Haaland has amassed a remarkable tally of 33 goals from 32 appearances in all competitions this season, but he drew a blank as Dortmund lost 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday. body check tags ::
