Dortmund have been adamant they won’t sell Haaland this summer and he’s expressed his desire to stay in interviews.
Their resolve could be tested however in what is shaping up to be the most dramatic transfer window in years.
PSG have already added Lionel Messi to their attack and he is set to make his debut on Sunday evening.
As well as Messi, they’ve signed Gini Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos and Gianluigi Donnarumma on free transfers in addition to Achraf Hakimi.

Another forward they’re interested in should Mbappe depart is Richarlison of Everton.
Toffees manager Rafael Benitez is adamant the Brazil international won’t be leaving Goodison Park however.
He explained: “Obviously we have some players who people know are good players
“There are rumours about this one or that.
“We are not considering selling him (Richarlison). He is our player and we are really pleased with him, really happy, and hopefully he can score a lot of goals this season for us.”
