DBasia.news – This winter transfer market is the best opportunity for Borussia Dortmund to sell Erling Haaland at a fantastic price. However, Die Borussen refused to take this option.
As is known, Haaland is now one of the hottest commodities in the transfer market. Top European clubs are willing to line up to get his services.
Haaland’s hunt is believed to be at its peak at the end of this season. At that moment, the player’s sale clause of 75 million euros was officially active.
This condition is certainly detrimental to Dortmund. They didn’t have the strength to protect Haaland from the temptations of the big teams.
Therefore, selling Haaland now could make Dortmund reap a bigger profit. They are currently still free to determine the official price of the 21-year-old player.
But that option is not in Dortmund’s plans. They are still optimistic that they can make Haaland last longer.
“Haaland won’t be able to leave in January. Who accepts to sell Europe’s top striker during the winter break when they don’t have to,” Dortmund CEO Joachim Watzke told Der Spiegel.
Haaland’s energy is still needed by Dortmund for the rest of the season. Despite being eliminated from the Champions League, Marco Rose’s team still takes part in three prestigious competitions.
Watzke also spoke about Dortmund’s plans for Haaland at the end of the season. He is still trying to persuade him to stay longer at Signal Iduna Park.
“Next year? Of course it will be difficult to keep him. However we want and we will try,” he said.
