German media: Dort wanted to use Levan as an example in the negotiations to persuade Haaland to stay another year and perform well

Dortmund's plan to keep forward Haalander in the squad is no secret, with German media sport1 reporting that the Nerazzurri are preparing to use levan as an example in negotiations to persuade him to stay for another year.

Haaland said in a recent interview that Dort's top brass put pressure on him and asked him to make a decision about the future as soon as possible. While both Zolke and Kyle have said dortmund did not set a deadline for them, Dortmund executives have made it clear that they don't want to wait until the end of the season to clarify the future of their players.

Previously reported that Dort would start negotiations with Haaland in the near future, sport1 said that Dort planned to introduce Levan in the negotiations with Haaland as an example, in order to persuade Haaland to stay in the team for another year and then take the next step next summer.

Although Levan's contract situation at that time (in 2013, he did not renew his contract and Dort chose to force him for one year, he transferred freely in 2014) and the current Haaland contract (with the termination clause in effect this summer, Dort wants to renew his contract with a salary increase), but Dort is hoping to exchange a certain loss or cost of the economy for the stay of the striker, and expects them to continue to perform well.

At that time, Dort's wish was fulfilled by Levan. Dortmund Weidenfehrer recalls the 13/14 season: "Levan behaved very well and continued to bring us success. The club is always above the players and I don't think Haaland will put Dort under so much pressure. ”

Sport1's report also stressed that Dort did not want to delay the negotiations until the stipulated deadline in the contract, and did not want to see players like Dembele and Aubameyang push for transfers again.
