Transfer News: Liverpool is a possible destination for Erling Haaland
According to Mundo Deportivo (h/t Liverpool Echo), the Reds have emerged as a potential option for Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland. The Norwegian could be in Jurgen Klopp’s plans if Mohamed Salah leaves the club in the summer.
It has been widely speculated that the Norwegian superstar could be on the move this summer. The Borussia Dortmund striker has no shortage of options with many big teams in Europe gunning for his signature.
Liverpool are joined by Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid in the race to land the prolific young striker. The 21-year-old forward has scored 23 goals in 23 appearances this season in addition to six assists and could have had much more had it not been for an injury-hit campaign.
The former RB Salzburg man has been a prolific goalscorer throughout his career and has raised his level since joining Dortmund. He could be ready for his next big step though and the sky’s the limit should he join the right club.
Who can say no to Haaland?
Haaland is very highly regarded and has already rightfully earned superstar status. The striker has been sensational for quite a few seasons now and will certainly add a clinical element to the Liverpool frontline.
While there is no doubting his talent, it does not come cheap. Whether Liverpool are willing to throw around what could be termed ‘silly money’ is debatable.
Haaland’s recent injury record will also come as a worry and it remains to be seen if the Reds consider it a deal-breaker. There are few better managers in world football than Jugen Klopp today and he would certainly be able to take Haaland to another level.
