After the departure of Erling Haaland, there is a big question in Dortmund: Who will be the new BVB goalscorer? t-online names six possible successor candidates for the Norwegian.
On Saturday afternoon around 5.20 p.m. Erling Haaland in the black and yellow jersey is history. Then the last BVB compulsory game will be whistled with the top attacker. Opponent is Hertha BSC.
Haaland moves to the Premier League. Manchester City will pay the fixed transfer fee of 75 million euros and secure the Norwegian’s services for the coming season.
This means that Dortmund’s new sports director Sebastian Kehl has an important position to fill in the storm center. Haaland’s record before his last game for BVB is the best the club has ever seen in terms of goal rate. 88 competitive games, 85 goals. Plus 23 assists. One thing is clear: it will not be possible to fill this gap one-to-one. t-online names six candidates who could take on the difficult Haaland legacy in Dortmund.
Sasa Kalajdzic
Age: 24
Current club: VfB Stuttgart
Contract term: 2023
market value: 22 million euros
The Austrian, who plays for VfB Stuttgart, proved his marksmanship especially last season when he netted 16 times in 33 Bundesliga games. A shoulder injury threw him back this season. Kalajdzic has only played 14 games and scored five goals so far. In terms of stature, the two-meter man even surpasses Haaland. The strengths of the 24-year-old are not only in the air: Of his 21 Bundesliga goals, he scored 10 with his head. Kalajdzic’s contract with VfB expires in 2023. And according to “Kicker”, the name of the top scorer was already discussed in Dortmund. Should the Swabians, who are in danger of relegation, have to go to the second division, his departure would be almost certain. To BVB?
