Dortmund’s first-team boss Sebastian Kehl has insisted no clubs have been contact about the signing of striker Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian striker is understand to have a release clause that will come into effect this summer. In the past, the media has linked players with many famous ufabet clubs across Europe. Including Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona, especially the “Sailboat” team, which is rumor to have agreed terms as well.
However, Kehl insisted there had been no contact with Haaland, acknowledging that there was a release clause. But there is also a time frame.
“There is a release clause as you know and there is a time limit,” Kehl told Sky Deutschland.
“Erling wants to play all the time and you always try to make the best decisions with him.”
Asked if any clubs had expressed interest in breaking Haaland’s contract, Kehl promptly replied “no”.
The Norway international striker has been widely tipped to depart the Bundesliga outfit this summer. With a €75 million (£63m/$83m) release clause catching the eye of several major European suitors.
City are understand to be the frontrunners to capture the Leeds-born forward. But speaking around Dortmund’s top-flight clash. With Wolfsburg this weekend, Kehl has now pour cold water on speculation that a deal is almost done.
