The German top advisor Volker Struth does not believe that Borussia Dortmund can keep their striker Erling Haaland beyond the coming transfer summer.
“I think the move will take place in 2022,” said Struth, whose consultancy Sports360 includes Dayot Upamecano and Niklas Süle (both FC Bayern), Timo Werner (Chelsea FC) and Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) , opposite the Sports picture.
Still, it should not be easy for many clubs to sign the Norwegian. In addition to the stipulated exit clause of 75 million euros, there would be some bonus payments. “Haaland has an exit clause. The whole package with a salary for five years and consultancy fees will probably be between 250 and 300 million euros,” said Struth.
This would probably also deter FC Bayern, which is said to have an interest in the 21-year-old. “Even if Bayern Munich had the money, they wouldn’t do it. Such a salary is impossible here and cannot be transferred,” said Struth. In Germany there would be “all hell going on” with this salary dimension, explains Struth, while in England this hurdle is a much smaller problem.
The 55-year-old dares to doubt whether money alone would be the decisive factor for a transfer: “I think that he will not only decide based on the coal. Ten percent more or less – that will not guide him. He will then get it that way a lot of money that it no longer has the greatest importance. “
Struth: “Haaland an ambitious sportsman”
Rather, Haaland is a player who subordinates everything to success. “I don’t know him personally. But when I see him play I think I realize that he’s hot for big titles, that he’s an ambitious sportsman.”
When asked about the speculation, Bayern’s star striker Robert Lewandowski said after beating Benfica on Tuesday Prime Video: “I’m Lewandowski, I think of myself. When you score so many goals, it’s clear that so many teams are interested in you. For me, it’s the most important thing I show on the pitch.” FCB sports director Hasan Salihamidzic had fueled the rumors in August: “60 games, 60 goals, you have to look, otherwise we would be full amateurs,” he said Sport1-Double pass said.
Haaland is also one of the most accurate players in Europe this season. In his six appearances so far 21/22 he scored nine goals and put on four more hits. He is currently out due to an injury due to problems with the hip flexor.
