Thorgan Hazard, Jude Bellingham and Mahmoud Dahoud took turns finding the net to settle a two-goal deficit and turn it into a 3-2 win for Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that they have no intention of releasing Erling Haaland in the January transfer window.
The name Haaland is one of the hottest games in European football today. Haaland’s ability with Dortmund made him much sought after by big clubs.
Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke stressed that Haaland will not be let go by them this January.
“Haaland won’t leave in January. He won’t. Who would sell a top European striker in the mid-season transfer window when they don’t have the obligation to do so?” Watzke told Der Speigel as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.
Haaland’s contract at Dortmund runs until 2024. However, Haaland has a release clause of 75 million euros. This amount is relatively small for the purchasing power of European clubs.
“Next season? Of course it will be difficult to keep him. But we want that and we will try to do it,” said Watzke.
A number of elite club names continue to be associated with Haaland. In the English Premier League, Manchester City and Manchester United are the two big clubs who are reportedly chasing Haaland the most.
Meanwhile in Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona are said to be the two teams chasing Haaland’s signature.
Haaland’s name stuck out when he managed to steal the attention with RB Salzburg in the Champions League. Thanks to that brilliant performance, Haaland was recruited by Dortmund since the beginning of 2020.
At Dortmund, Haaland’s sharpness continued to improve and he succeeded in proving himself worthy of being called one of the world’s top striker candidates. Haaland has scored 76 goals in 74 appearances for Dortmund so far.
