During an interview with the German program 19:09 Talk, the CEO of Borussia Dortmund, Hans-Joachim Watzke, talked about the situation of Erling Haaland. He said: "Haaland has a decision to make, eventually he will arrive.
We have inserted a release clause, otherwise it would be went to Manchester United. " Watzke, during the interview, confirmed that Borussia Dortmund is looking for the new striker: "We need the new Haaland and I'm sure we will find him.
Karim Adeyemi? We will try to catch him, without a release clause, but we are not under pressure. I think the player has expressed his desire to come to us."
Haaland's future
Erling Haaland will almost certainly be a new player from Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, as confirmed by all the British media and newspapers.
Haaland would have preferred City and the Spanish manager's project to Barcelona, Real Madrid or PSG. Manchester City will pay 75 million euros to Borussia Dortmund, the German club where the Norwegian is playing. Haaland will receive a staggering 29 million net annual salary!
Haaland will have to solve the problem of goals from a club that has many playmakers but no real central striker. In this respect, there is a famous precedent that Raiola cannot have overlooked. Only in 2009 did Guardiola play without the false nueve with Zlatan Ibrahimovic next to Lionel Messi, but as everyone knows, it didn't go very well.
