Ex-striker Jan Aage Fjörtoft is sure that his compatriot Erling Haaland is not yet clear about where his future lies. BVB may well calculate their chances of staying – on one condition.
“I think the Haaland team and the family don’t know where he’s going either. The world of football is changing. There are so many things that influence that. They don’t know where he will play in the 2022/23 season “, said the 54-year-old, who ran for Eintracht Frankfurt between 1999 and 2001, at Image LIVE.
Haaland, who is still tied to BVB until 2024 and is allowed to leave the club next summer due to an exit clause, could also extend his time with the Black and Yellows if the conditions are right: “Haaland and his team are always looking for development. And if that is in Dortmund is the case, then he will stay there. “
Fjörtoft, on the other hand, believes a transfer to Bayern is unlikely: “He won’t go after the money because they never did. If you go to Bayern, that’s a luxury problem. And Lewandowski will be annoyed. That sounds good difficult at. ” Lewandowski is under contract with FCB until 2023.
Fjörtoft: BVB without Haaland, no Bayern competition
One of the great strengths of Haaland, who is currently missing due to a thigh injury, is being able to deal with pressure: “I’m not worried about Erling. He always prepares himself well and has put on eight kilos of muscles in Dortmund. But : He’s not a machine, but a young person trying to develop. “
In his private life he is “a completely normal 21-year-old who explodes on the pitch. Fjörtoft sees” a polite, humble boy who is happy to play football. But when you see him on the pitch, you think he’s a completely different personality. “
Without Haaland, Fjörtoft would not trust BVB to be competitive against FC Bayern: “The game will change a lot. With Erling you never know how they will play.” New signing Donyell Malen is not a good substitute for Haaland: “Of course it’s a weakness when you claim to be Bayern pursuer.”
