The young football sensation Erling Haaland’s future has been a point of conversation since the 2021 summer transfer window. Now with the January transfer window open and big moves happening all around the world, it looks like Borussia Dortmund have been nagging Haaland to decide his future.
The striker hinted at leaving the yellows this season for better pastures but his destination was still unknown. He has mentioned earlier that he would rather go to the La Liga than the Premier League if given the choice and Spanish club presidents like Barcelona’s Laporta have come out and said they would like to sign Haaland in the coming summer.
However, he remains at Borussia right now with a contract extending till 2024. The biggest factor is the release clause set at €75 Million. Clubs like City, Munich, Chelsea and more have shown interest in paying the 75 Million to get Haaland out of his contract and into their clubs.
“The last six months, I have chosen not to say anything out of respect for Dortmund,” Haaland told Viaplay. “But now the club has started to pressure me into making a decision, but all I want to do is to play football. But they press me to make a decision now about my future. So that means I have to make a decision soon. I have said from the beginning that I want to focus on football, because that is when I am at my best, not when other things come into my mind.”
“Now they have put pressure for a while. So it is time to get things started. All I want to do is to play football, but I can’t do that now.”
Haaland who scored 78 goals in his first 77 appearances in all competitions for Borussia will be a major player to look out for this transfer season.
