Borussia Dortmund knows they will lose Haaland, but warns that they will fight for him: “We want to and we will try”

Erling Haaland is and will be one of the names that appears the most and will appear in the news related to transfers. The forward, who is in the orbit of Barcelona and Real Madrid, still has a contract with Borussia Dortmund and despite the interest of the greats of Spain, this Friday it was ruled out that he will leave the institution throughout January, during the winter market in Europe.

“No, that is impossible”replied Hans-Joachim Watzke, CEO of the German club, when asked about the chances of seeing the top scorer leave in the course of the first month of 2022. “Who gives up one of the best strikers in Europe during the winter break if they don’t have to?”, he justified.

“Borussia Dortmund is still represented in three competitions, and in them we want to compete with the best possible team”added the member of the high command of the ‘BVB’ to Der Spiegel magazine regarding Haaland entering into the plans of coach Marco Rose to face all fronts until the end of 2021-2022.

However, Watzke acknowledged that there is little chance of retaining Haaland for thinking beyond June of this year. The manager of the ‘Yellow Gale’ knows that the proposals from Spain are seductive for one of the players who, along with Kylian Mbappé, have always been linked to Barcelona or Real Madrid.

“Of course it will be difficult to retain him. However, we want to and we will try ”, said the leader, who announced that Borussia Dortmund will fight to take advantage of the Norwegian’s scoring contribution. In any case, if the ‘9’ leaves, the Germans will ask for 75 million euros, the value of an exit clause.

Everything closed with Barcelona?

According to the Spanish media Deportes Cuatro, Barcelona and Haaland have agreed to a three-season contract plus two variables. As one of the best scorers in the world, Italian agent Mino Raiola has secured for his client one of the most competitive salaries in the football market.

As if it were Lionel Messi himself, Erling Haaland would earn around 30 million euros per season at Barcelona. Thus, the Norwegian would be one of the players with the highest salary in the world at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar.
