The Bundesliga outfit are playing a blinder at present however.

According to a post-match interview that the player gave to Viaplay’s Jan Aage Fjortoft, he is being put under immense pressure to detail his future plans now.

Evidently, it doesn’t suit him to do that, one must assume because the longer the charade goes on, the easier it is to hook any interested parties and also to drive the terms of the deal through the roof.

By pinning him down to a decision imminently, Haaland clearly has to make his choice soonest.

What that means is the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and even Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid, may even know Haaland’s intentions before the Champions League reconvenes.
