Erling Haaland transfer clause explained and what it means for Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid

Erling Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm, with the Manchester City striker having already scored 15 goals in his first nine Premier League matches.

However, his dominance may not be for the next decade, with it being revealed this week that the Norwegian striker has a $195million (£175.5million) release clause in his contract which becomes active in 2024, putting a number of clubs around Europe on alert. Chelsea are among the sides to have previously expressed an interest in the former Borussia Dortmund star.

The striker joined City after the Premier League Champions paid the £51million release clause which was agreed upon within the 22-year-old's Borussia Dortmund contract. This sets a precedent for Haaland to take such a decision once more, with any decision to move to Chelsea or Arsenal dependent upon both sides' success in the next two years.
