The former RB Salzburg striker has already scored eight goals in five games for Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund star striker, Erling Haaland, has insisted that his decision to move to Borussia Dortmund was not depended on money. He also expressed that joining BVB was not considered initially but it eventually happened. The Norwegian forward joined the Bundesliga club for just €20m in the January transfer window and has already scored eight goals in five games for the club. [KH_ADWORDS type="4" align="center"][/KH_ADWORDS] Talking about interests from Manchester United, it is known that United had met the £17m buy-out clause to RB Salzburg but issues in inserting a release clause in the new deal hampered the transfer. Instead, Haaland joined Dortmund for four-and-a-half-year deal. "No. The guys writing that would have to speak about that," Haaland told Norwegian television channel Viasport clearing that it was not greed that took him to Germany. "They'll have to explain it to me if they meet me." "It's kind of comical for me to be given that label. All the people closest to me know that's not the kind of person I am. It's really just funny." "When the season was over, my father and I started talking. At that point, he didn't mention Dortmund at all. Then I asked him, 'What about this club? That would be nice.' Then he said, 'We'll see.' It suddenly became an option and I had a good feeling about it throughout. The process was pretty simple on my end. I just played football and wasn't very involved until the first half of the season was over." "I didn't have that much to do with it, to be honest. The process was to find the best possible club for me." [KH_RELATED_NEWS title="Related News | ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW"][/KH_RELATED_NEWS] The deal was managed by his agent, Mino Raiola and the player has lauded him. Erling Haaland said, "He's the best in the world at what he does. It's as simple as that." "He's the best agent. He gets a lot of negativity and that's probably because people don't like him since he's doing such a great job for the ones he's working for. He has been very helpful and he's a good guy to have around."Latest News
