Haaland is the newcomer to the Bundesliga season. An absolute legend of FC Bayern has now expressed itself about the Norwegian and can well imagine the Norwegian in Munich.
- Transfer from Erling Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund .
- He is said to have an exit clause, and he firmly committed to a Premier League club .
- Now a legendary FC Bayern player commented on Haaland as Lewandowski's successor
Update of February 21, 2020: The personalized Erling Haaland goal machine has amazed not only Germany but the whole of Europe since the double pack against Paris-Saint-Germain. It is therefore not surprising that the striker is already predicted a rosy future with the world's best clubs.
Lothar Matthäus: "... I can well imagine it."
Recently, expert Lothar Matthäus spoke to the evening newspaper about the mega-talent and the role that Bayern could play. The record national player praised the daring move to Westphalia. “This type of player has been missing in Dortmund for a long time. That is why BVB is exactly the right career step for him, ”says the TV expert, who also sees Haaland abroad.
"England is certainly interesting for him," said the 58-year-old. “His father Alf-Inge has played in the Premier League for a long time (for Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and ManCity; editor's note). And economically, of course, the English clubs are very strong. "
FC Bayern, for which Matthäus ran 410 times, would not have been an option at the moment, according to the former exceptional player. “FC Bayern play a system with a center forward, and it's called Robert Lewandowski. Haaland should have lined up behind it, ”says Matthäus. Nevertheless, he would see the young Norwegian at the record champions in the future. "In a few years, I can well imagine Haaland at Bayern as Lewandowski's successor ."
Erling Haaland: The striker prodigy as good as in the Premier League - Then came BVB
Update from February 21, 2020: Now new knowledge about the change of the Norwegian became known. It was already known that BVB included an unusual exit clause for the star striker (see first registration) in the contract. In terms of salary , too, the Dortmunders probably pay the 19-year-old king transfer more than their peers and newcomers. But Haaland already agreed to another club before the BVB change.
Erling Haaland: He is said to have already agreed to Manchester United - "the best feeling" at BVB
At the latest after his double against Paris Saint-Germain, the name in Haaland is known to every manager. The most annoying thing about Haaland's dream goals is Europa League participant Manchester United . The traditional English club is said to have been the favorite for the transfer - not only because the coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also Norwegian. Solskjaer is even Haaland's former coach with Swedish first division club Molde FK . According to The Athletic , Haaland Manchester manager Ed Woodward has already agreed.
But Manchester United missed the entry into the Champions League, and so the Dortmund got into Haaland's focus. "I had the best feeling at BVB," said the super talent.
Erling Haaland: First BVB exit clause according to Mario Götze - contract clause known
First announcement: Borussia Dortmund was able to sign Erling Haaland as a striker. In order to get rid of the Norwegian from his club RB Salzburg and to outdo other well-known interested parties, BVB even broke with principles. Haaland was granted an exit clause in the contract. The last time BVB let a player go due to an exit clause was Mario Götze's move to Bayern in 2013. That is known.
What is not yet known is the point in time at which the clause should apply to Haaland. The striker signed a contract in Dortmund until June 2024. As Sport Bild now reports, the 19-year-old should be allowed to change from 2022. BVB fans can enjoy the shooting star for at least two years. The details of the exit clause have now come to light.
Manchester United had no desire to add such contracts, at least that's what coach Ole Gunnar Solkskjaer claims. Erling Haaland's version, however, sounds very different.
Dortmund has Haaland, does FC Bayern get Jadon Sancho for it? There is speculation about the young star.
Erling Haaland: BVB broke with a rule for the transfer of the super striker
Update of January 4, 2020: These figures are truly impressive. The online portal Statista has published the alleged salaries of the Bundesliga professionals from Borussia Dortmund for the 2019/20 season.
The top four are: Marco Reus (12 million euros), Mats Hummels (10 million euros), Mario Götze (10 million euros) and Axel Witsel (7.5 million). According to the report, Julian Brandt and Paco Alcacer each receive annual salaries of 7 million euros.
Erling Haaland: BVB pays striker after transfer mega-salary
But: The transfer from Erling Haaland to BVB apparently rearranged the order and ranking. Because: As The Athletic now reports, the 19-year-old striker is expected to earn almost 10 million euros a year after moving from Red Bull Salzburg to Westphalia, almost the amount Manchester United is said to have offered the Norwegian striker.
In addition, the club is said to have granted the player an exit clause, allegedly for the first time since Mario Götze left the 2013 Champions League finalist in the same year in the direction of Munich.

BVB already Erling Haaland in the training camp in Marbella
In the vice master's training camp in Marbella, the newcomer is initially out of the game. The Norwegian was one of the players who did not take part in the first unit in Andalusia on Saturday afternoon.
The goal is to integrate Haaland into team training in Marbella, said BVB . Haaland switched from the Austrian series champion to Dortmund for the fixed transfer fee of 20 million euros.

Including: the derby victory against royal blue. FC Schalke is sorting only after the transfer from Alexander Nübel to FC Bayern has been determined.

Erling Haaland: Curious video of BVB star showed up
Update from January 2, 2020: The new year is still quite young, but there are already some highlights that will make football fans smile. There is, for example, the appearance of Roman Weidenfeller as an actor on the ZDF “dream ship”, which confused the audience enormously.
Former international Max Kruse also delivered a musical performance in the Turkish version of "The Voice" that was not necessarily grammy-suspicious, but cheered the audience. The same applies to this video: Dortmund's new star striker Erling Haaland has tried to be a rapper in the recent past!
The then 16-year-old was part of the three-member group " Flow Kingz ", in the music video for " Kygo jo " the Norwegian fidgets and spins lines. What is better? His musical talent or his brilliant moves on the grill? We are not sure yet.
Erling Haaland: BVB fans take video with humor
BVB fans naturally take the video with humor: “Think so young, so economically and try to build a second mainstay. I hope it works with football! ”Says a Facebook user under the video that the football portal“ FUMS ”had posted.
Another emphasizes: "If this is not played when he scores a goal, I am offended."

The video now has more than 500,000 views on YouTube (as of January 2, 11:40 am). If "Kygo jo" really should be the new BVB goal hymn, there should be a few more. Meanwhile, Haaland's new teammate Mats Hummels made the headlines. What is he doing at his former club in the Allianz Arena?
Haaland-Hammer: Now it's official! Norwegian moves to the Bundesliga
Update from December 31, 2019: After purchasing Erling Haaland, the first winter departure at Borussia Dortmund is also perfect: Julian Weigl is leaving BVB. And at Paco Alcacer too, the signs point to separation.
Update from December 29th, 3:42 pm: Now it's actually official! Erling Haaland moves from Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund . The club first confirmed this on Twitter via Twitter. In the tweet, a visibly happy Hans-Joachim Watzke shines into the camera next to a grinning Norwegian. BVB simply writes: "Borussia Dortmund commits Erling Haaland ."
A press release states that Haaland signed a contract with Dortmund until June 30, 2024 on Sunday. "Despite many offers from absolute top clubs from all over Europe, Erling Haaland decided on the sporting task at BVB and the perspective that we have shown him. Our persistence has paid off, ”Borussia Dortmund's CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke, is quoted as saying.
Haaland had already traveled to Dortmund a few days ago to hold talks and to get an impression. That was exactly how he had done it at RB Leipzig. The Norwegian about his move: “I had intensive discussions with the club management and the sports management, especially with Hans-Joachim Watzke, Michael Zorc and coach Lucien Favre. There was a feeling right from the start that I absolutely wanted to switch to this club, go this route and play football in front of more than 80,000 spectators in this incredible Dortmund atmosphere. I'm already burning for it ”.
On January 3, the Norwegian will join the team and travel to the training camp in Marbella (Spain) the next day.

- Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) December 29, 2019Update from December 29, 3:15 p.m .: After the cancellation to RB Leipzig, the picture now names a league competitor as a favorite in the race for Erling Haaland. Accordingly, the Norwegian is about to switch to BVB: "The deal should only be a matter of form," writes the paper without naming an explicit, official source.
That Borussia Dortmund is interested in Haaland is nothing new. In addition, there is a gap at BVB in the Sturmzentrale, which the mighty striker could fill well. In addition, the black and yellow could probably raise the reported eight million euros annual salary that the Norwegian should demand.
Erling Haaland gives RB Leipzig rejection: the reasons are obvious
Update from December 29, 1:38 p.m .: Erling Haaland is one of the most sought-after storm talents in Europe. Both BVB and RB Leipzig, as well as several international top teams such as Juventus Turin and Manchester United have already been associated with him or even showed public interest.
Erling Haaland allegedly does not go to RB Leipzig
Now the Norwegian has apparently made a first decision: According to Bild information, he will not switch to RB Leipzig, FC Bayern's big competitor in the Bundesliga.
According to the report, Haaland had flown to the Red Bull sister club before Christmas, had looked at the training center and also met trainer Julian Nagelsmann. But apparently Haaland hadn't been able to convince that.
The sheet also gives possible reasons for the cancellation: on the one hand, the playing time. Because with Poulsen and Schick, RB Leipzig already has two high-impact strikers in the squad. On the other hand, the money: Leipzig can pay a maximum of five million euros salary according to its own specifications. Big money is luring in Manchester or Turin. Now Juve should be in pole position, as Tuttosport reports.
Desired Erling Haaland: Who can afford that? - The transfer is so expensive
Update from December 24, 2019: It is still not clear where Erling Haaland will go. Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Juventus Turin and Manchester United are still in the race. If you want to sign the Norwegian, you have to dig deep into your pocket. According to the picture , the deal is expected to cost a total of 80 million euros . The sum consisted of the transfer (22 million euros), a hand money of eight million euros, the commission for consultant Mino Raiola (15 million euros) and the salary of 35 million euros for a required four-year contract.
Next turn in poker for Erling Haaland
December 23, 2019 update: Next turn in poker at Haaland ? While Oliver Mintzlaff, Managing Director of Leipzig, spoke openly about his interest in Haaland in the Sport1 double pass, BVB's chances of the Norwegian being signed should increase now. According to information from the picture , Manchester United and Borussia are now ahead of Leipzig and Juventus. Dortmund's pledge is that Erling Haaland would play regularly at BVB.
Transfer poker around Haaland: RB has "great interest" - but a detail could be in the way
Update from December 22nd: The transfer poker for top talent Erling Haaland goes into the next round! In the past few days it seemed as if Manchester United had the best cards in terms of a commitment from the Norwegian, the U-turn is now happening again.
On the one hand, United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently denied the rumors of a joint meeting with Haaland. "He is not coming to Manchester," announced Solskjaer and continued: "I know the boy and his friends, he is on his way to Christmas vacation."
On the other hand, RB managing director Oliver Mintzlaff in the Sport1 double pass on Sunday gave the rumors of a move to Leipzig a new breeding ground. “We met Haaland and are very interested . He is open to a change, but other clubs are also vying. We don't know if his salary goes beyond our limits. He wants to develop further and has shown that he can score goals on an international level. ”
Update from December 20, 2019: Is everything happening very quickly at Sturm-Juwel Erling Haaland ? RB Salzburg's Norwegian was spotted a few days ago putting his autograph on a Manchester United shirt ( see report below ). Now there are increasing signs that 19-year-olds in England will not only sign jerseys, but may soon also have a long-term contract .
According to a report by the Norwegian daily 'Stavanger Aftenblad', Haaland is on the way to Manchester to force negotiations on a transfer from RB Salzburg to Manchester United .
RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund were also said to be very interested in the services of the striker, Haaland is said to have met for talks with both clubs - but now the two German clubs seem to be leaving empty-handed.
Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer , who also comes from Norway and could probably verbalize his persuasive skills in his mother tongue, should also be an advantage for United. The two parties are said to have met for the first talks last Friday. A move to Manchester is also supported by the fact that Solskjaer Haaland brought Bryne to FK Molde in 2017. Then Haaland moved to Austria. Haaland's father Alf-Inge used to play for Manchester City.
In winter the transfer market is all about. Does Hasan Salihamidzic also have a position on the screen in which the top teams in Europe are better manned and more clearly defined?
Is the Haaland transfer fixed? Norwegian signs on shirt from interested top club
Salzburg - Erling Braut Haaland is probably one of the most sought-after talents in Europe at the moment. Several top clubs are fighting over the striker from Red Bull Salzburg . The 19-year-old Norwegian shines with an incredible rate. In 22 games for the Austrians he scored 28 times and prepared seven goals. He even scored eight of his goals in the Champions League .
Despite his goals, Salzburg did not reach the knockout round of the premier class, but may overwinter in the Europa League. There they meet Eintracht Frankfurt in the intermediate round. Whether Haaland, who was just 19 years and just under five months the youngest footballer of the year in Austria was chosen, then still plays in the city of Mozart is questionable.
Erling Haaland signs on Manchester Jersey
The best cards for a commitment are currently the Bundesliga clubs RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund. But Manchester United is also reaching out for him. Has the decision been made yet? He posted a story on Haaland's Instagram profile that shows him signing on a Manchester United shirt.

Anyone who thinks that the transfer is fixed is unfortunately wrong. The Norwegian has had a lot of fun, because there are more stories to follow, on which he will also sign other jerseys. RB Leipzig , SSC Napoli and Leeds United are among the jerseys. His father had played at Leeds. So everything is still open.
Haaland: Bundesliga or Premier League, where is it going?
Haalands compatriot and coach of United, Ole Gunnar Solskjær , has already traveled to Salzburg to look for Haaland. According to the Salzburger Nachrichten, it was obviously in vain. According to the report, RB Leipzig currently has the best cards in Haaland poker. BVB is not out of the race. Salzburg tries to prevent a change in winter by any means, but sports director Christoph Freund is also clear: “There are huge clubs that are interested in him. You can't wipe that away. "

Haaland with lavish wages: Too expensive for Leipzig?
Whoever wins in the end also depends on the money. Haaland has high demands on his salary. As the picture found out, the shooting star, who is represented by star consultant Mino Raiola , wants to increase his annual income to eight million euros. He is currently earning a million a year.
This could be a problem, especially for RB Leipzig . The current top earner is Timo Werner with a salary of seven million euros. The red bulls only offer Haaland a salary of five million. The clubs from Dortmund and Manchester would probably afford the Norwegian's salary of choice. This gives them a clear advantage over Leipzig.
