Dortmund (dpa) – Borussia Dortmund does not see a chance in the upcoming negotiation poker for the whereabouts of striker Erling Haaland beyond the coming summer.
“There are certainly a few more reasons why Erling is in very, very good hands with Borussia Dortmund and why we as a club can continue to be a very, very good option for him,” said licensed player boss Sebastian Kehl on Wednesday.
Like club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke before, Kehl also promised an early end to speculation about the future of the courted 21-year-old Norwegian. “We will sit down with Erling and his team in the next few weeks and discuss the situation intensively. Of course, it would be good not to drag out a decision forever, because that requires a consistency in all areas. But we are that far at the moment not yet and we are happy that he is here. He is highly motivated to achieve our goals with us. “
Release clause in summer
Haaland is under contract with BVB until 2024, but can leave the Revierclub this summer with an exit clause for allegedly 75 million euros. Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and FC Chelsea were most recently traded as interested parties.
Regardless of the Haaland personnel, Kehl does not see any urgent need to strengthen the squad for the second half of the table for the time being: “The transfer window is still a bit open and we won’t commit ourselves today. But it’s not like we’re with at the moment try with all their might to implement transfers. “
The licensed player boss referred to the bad luck with injuries in the first half of the season and the near comeback of some recently missing professionals such as Raphael Guerreiro, Giovanni Reyna and Youssoufa Moukoko. “If the guys all come back, we will improve our quality even more. I firmly believe that we haven’t had the opportunity to show what this squad is all about because of the injuries,” commented Kehl.
