Change language:
One of Europe’s most wanted footballers dropped in on time when Borussia Dortmund’s squad returned to training after the Bundesliga’s winter-break this Friday morning.
Witnesses speak of 22 minutes past 8 as the exact arrival time. First photos were published showing the Norwegian striker star Erling Haaland on the passenger seat of a dark-colored limousine.
New faces might be nothing unusual as several football clubs are trying to improve their performance in the season’s second leg.
But things around the 19-year-old spearhead seem more profound.
This Saturday, Dortmund’s squad is traveling to the South of Spain to attend a winter training camp in Marbella.
Haaland is the Blacks and Yellows new hope trying to save a so-far disappointing season. Expectations are weighing heavily on the man’s shoulders who scored 28 goals in 22 games and was the reason for a fierce bidding battle among leading European sides as an exit-clause worth 20 million came to light.

Haaland’s agent Mino Raiola proudly announced to have received between 12 to 18 serious offers.
Other than Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus, and RB Leipzig, Dortmund could offer a regular place in the starting eleven next to a reported yearly salary of 8 million euros.
A robust box-striker was Borussia’s missing tool as the club’s leaders admitted it was a mistake not to have signed a spearhead in advance of the current season.
The example of Jadon Sancho might have been a shining example to strengthen the club’s reputation to be an excellent place for promising youngsters to prepare for top European sides. The London-born strikers’ value increased from 7 million to over 100 million after he joined in from Manchester City.
As for Sancho Dortmund for Haaland is only a suitable stop-over after a meteoric rise on the international football stage. Despite having signed a contract until 2024, the Leeds-born striker is aiming at one of the big clubs in the next years.
