Haaland has become one of Europe's hottest properties following a prolific run of form for Salzburg.
Could talented teenager Haaland be the next bright young forward to join Bundesliga side Dortmund?
Local newspaper Ruhr Nachrichten and Radio 91.2 claim the Norwegian and his high-profile agent Mino Raiola arrived at Dortmund Airport and were met by a BVB official the day after Salzburg's Champions League loss to Liverpool.
