Borussia Dortmund Beat Manchester United for a Top Target

The transfer news across the Europe are in full swing as the January window is about get opened and some of the high profile transfers have already taken place.

It’s that time again when the European heavyweights go toe to toe with each other so as to seal the signatures of their respected targets.

Erling Braut Haaland, a 19 year old RB Salzburg’s sensation has been a big talking point for quite a while and his prolonged transfer saga has been finally cessated and in style. It is the German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund who sealed the upmarket services of the prolific striker beating Manchester United in the process.

Erling Haaland has been in scintillating form at the Austrian club, scoring 29 goals in 26 appearances for club and country and apparently attracting the host of European elites. The Austrian primarily piles his trade as a center striker but also can play as a wing forward.

His signing could define Lucien Favre’s era at Signal iduna park and he could well be a face of Borussia Dortmund in the coming years.

 

While addressing the press about his mega move to Borussia, he insisted,

“There was a feeling right from the start that I absolutely wanted to switch to this club, go this route and play football in this incredible Dortmund atmosphere in front of more than 80,000 spectators.

“I’m already burning for it.”

Still being only 19, the young striker has an abundant scope of improvement and his immense ageility is certainly going to be an inavluable asset for Lucien Favre’s Borussia Dortmund.

He is set to join the German outfit on 3rd January, when the January transfer window will be officially opened. The reports stated that he was monitored by several top European clubs including Manchester United. That is why, Dortmund’s swoop for Haaland is being eyed as a big transfer success.
