Jahn Regensburg wanted to borrow BVB Star 2019

Christian Keller, managing director of Jahn Regensburg, has in an interview with the Central Bavarian newspaper reveal that the second division team was interested in a loan from today’s BVB star Ering Haaland in 2019. However, this concern has not met with any approval.

“We’re scouting in Austria. We saw Haaland in one of his first games when he moved to Salzburg,” said Keller of the circumstances surrounding the request to Haaland’s ex-club RB Salzburg. At the beginning of 2019, the Norwegian moved from Molde FK to Mozart’s city for eight million euros.

After the scouting, Keller “took the liberty of calling the club manager to see if Haaland might be eligible for a loan. He then laughed out loud. But it was worth a try.”

Instead, the 21-year-old stayed in Austria for exactly one year before finding his way to BVB for more than double the price. There, the currently injured striker scored an impressive 70 hits (19 assists) in 69 games and shot himself in the notebooks of all of Europe’s top clubs.

Keller had worked as managing director for Regensburg since 2013 and established the club in the second division. Jahn is playing his fifth season in a row in the lower house and can now even calculate his chances of promotion to the Bundesliga (second place, 25 points).

Keller’s contract expired on October 31 at his own request and he wants to take a career break lasting several months. the Sports picture had recently brought him in connection with an engagement at VfB Stuttgart or 1. FC Köln.
