Against Freiburg, Haaland scored twice to help Borussia Dortmund win 5-1. After the game, Haaland publicly said that he would leave the team in the summer window, which means that the competition between Manchester City, Manchester United, Barca and Real Madrid will enter the sprint stage.
Haaland said, "Over the past 6 months, out of respect for Dortmund, I have chosen not to say anything. But now the club has started urging me to make a decision. I just want to play but they urge me to make a decision about the future now, which means I have to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"Now, the club is under a lot of pressure, so it's time to do something. That means something is going to happen right now. From the very beginning, I've said that I want to focus on football because that would put me in the best shape. I don't want to think about anything else, but now I'm facing pressure. ”
Asked when a decision would be made, Haaland said, "Not now, because we're in a tough time and play a lot of games. I just wanted to play football, but I can't do it now. ”
Over the past 18 months, Haaland has been on the radar of European giants. By June, haaland's termination clause in his contract with Dortmund will take effect and he can leave Borussia Dortmund for a transfer fee of 75 million euros.
Dortmund chief executive Vátsk hinted last week that Haaland would leave the team in the summer window, "if not necessarily, then who will let go of one of Europe's best strikers in the winter window." He's not leaving in January, Borussia Dortmund still has the potential to win in three competitions and we want to compete against the top teams. ”
After Haaland said this, Vátsk also said, "Haaland had some whim, but we allowed him to do it." He has to know something about our situation and we can't wait until the end of May. ”
In Haaland's chase, Real Madrid took a certain initiative, and Haaland once expressed his desire to follow in the footsteps of idol C Ronaldo and play for Real Madrid. However, Barca president Laporta has also said that Haaland will become the number one target for Barcelona's summer window.
Marca revealed that Dortmund had asked to meet with Haaland's father and agent Raiola to get a direct picture of Haaland's plans. Meanwhile, Haaland will make a decision by January 31.
"Haaland's transfer fee is only $75 million, and any European giant is willing to pay for a player destined to dominate for the next 10 years," Marca noted. ”
