Erling Braut Haaland shook heads at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday evening. The 21-year-old goal-getter of Borussia Dortmund scored twice in the won game against the last match against Greuther Fürth (3-0) and celebrated the victory by running his own lap of honor afterwards. According to Sports1 The Norwegian’s action could count on the annoyance of the public and teammates and strengthens the suspicions of an imminent departure.
Dortmund had little trouble with the team of Jetro Willems, Nick Viergever and Justin Hoogma and went through two hits from Haaland and a goal from Donyell Malen to a solid victory. While Haaland’s teammates, including the also scoring Malen, chained up on the other side of the field and celebrated the victory, the coveted striker single-handedly whipped up the crowd. However, that is nothing new, according to the German sports channel. “The fact that he stays away from his team’s party afterwards, that’s what worries me.”
According to Sports1 the Norwegian striker’s behavior was revealing. “Haalands Ego-Ehrenrunde was symbolic. He is the star, without whom Dortmund is only mediocre. He is the record striker to score thirty times this calendar year; the goalscoring machine that produced an incredible average of 76 goals in 74 games. But he is also the attacker who is now apparently too good for BVBHaaland enjoys widespread interest from just about the entire European top, including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool.
“Was the lap of honor a sign of goodbye? It seems that way”, says Sports1. Haaland will be stuck at until mid-2024 the Schwarzgelben and due to a clause in his contract can reportedly leave for around 75 million euros from 2022. Malen’s teammate came over from Red Bull Salzburg in the winter of 2020 and has since broken record after record.
