But Poland have always had more talents than Norway. I hope I'm wrong about Håland, but I'm afraid I'm not.

Zlatan, Nordahl, Liedholm, Laudrup brothers, Litmanen, Salah, Aubameyang, Weah, Oblak, Hagi, Skriniar, Koulibaly, Etoo, Drogba, Nedved, Boniek, and so on. Perhaps some would argue that some are from nations regularly producing WC players and how far up the echelon we are talking about. Looking at the Nordic countries, Henrik Larsson or Fredrik Ljungberg, for example, were great players but not on par with most of the aforementioned. Depends on time frame and other aspects too I suppose. That is kind of beside the point, the point is that yes, whereever you are from you can still make it. The road is perhaps more demanding for different reasons but still... Saying he is from Norway and therefore he will decline make no sense to me. Maybe he will score less eventually and be more like a regular WC striker because right now he has been from another planet for over a year. Btw., the list of Portuguese WC players is endless.
That's why Mino has to be the best agent you can ask for as a player. He negotiated a new release clause when he signed a contract with Dortmund of just 75M. Meaning every penny teams are willing to pay above the release clause is a signing fee for his client or commission for him. Also makes it really easy to negotiate better contracts for his player when multiple teams can pay the clause and create bidding war for his salary.
He milked us dry with the Pogba transfer and will do the same with MDL at one point.

I think he means why did Salzburg let him go so cheaply? I'd guess that Raiola has some other coals in the fire to help out the Red Bull organisation in the future with players. Otherwise it makes little sense. They sold Mané for more 5 years previous, and Haaland was clearly a player destined for the top, going to a big team.
Edit: For Dortmund, yes they get a player cheaply but they also will probably lose him relatively cheaply with that fixed clause. For the player and his agent, the bigger buying club 3 years down the road will pay them a hefty signing fee, as @Gian mentions below.
Agents are finding more creative ways around regular transfer fee protocol.
