The announcement of the transfer of Sébastien Haller to Borussia Dortmund will not be announced for a while on the intercession of Ajax. Sven Westerschulze, Dortmund watcher at the German Sky Sports News reports this on Twitter on Thursday afternoon. Haller successfully passed his medical examination, but will not be officially presented until July.

According to Westerschulze, the transfer has been fully completed. The tall Ivorian striker has even put his signature in Dortmund under a four-year contract. The reason that the announcement is not yet made known in the tweets of the German journalist. That would be a wish from Amsterdam. Haller does not immediately align with his new teammates. Due to his international obligations with the Ivory Coast, he has an extra week of vacation. The announcement is expected to follow before he shows his face on the training pitch.

Dortmund is the second club for which Haller plays in the Bundesliga. The striker made the switch from FC Utrecht to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2017 for twelve million euros. Two years later, he left for West Ham for approximately fifty million euros, where he was picked up by Ajax in January 2021. Last season, Haller became the top scorer in the Eredivisie with 21 goals, while he scored 11 goals in the Champions League.

The list of ex-Ajacieds in the Bundesliga continues to grow. This summer alone, three important Ajax players left for Germany. Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui start their employment at Bayern Munich after their holiday. Furthermore, Mitchel Bakker, Daley Sinkgraven, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, ​​Deyovaisio Zeefuik and Brian Brobbey are names with a past at Ajax who are currently still under contract at the highest level in Germany.
