According to media reports, Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund is about to sign attacker Sébastien Haller from Dutch first division club Ajax Amsterdam.
According to information from the TV broadcaster Sport1, BVB has already agreed on a five-year contract with the former Bundesliga player from Eintracht Frankfurt. Accordingly, Ajax Amsterdam should still consider an offer from Borussia for a transfer fee of 33 million euros for Haller.
Ivory Coast international
The Dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf” reports that the clubs are approaching an agreement. Largely guaranteed bonus payments are also being negotiated. According to further information, Haller is ready to interrupt his vacation in Ivory Coast in order to complete the medical test for the commitment in Dortmund in a timely manner. The Ivory Coast international still has a contract with Ajax until 2024.
Haller, who turns 28 on Wednesday, is supposed to compensate for the departure of top scorer Erling Haaland to Manchester City in Dortmund. He scored 73 goals in 132 top division games for FC Utrecht and Amsterdam. There are also eleven goals in eight Champions League games for Ajax. He scored 33 goals in 77 games for Eintracht Frankfurt between 2017 and 2019 before initially moving to West Ham United.
For the transfer from Haaland to Manchester City, the Revierclub had received the fixed transfer fee of 75 million euros.
