Since arriving in Borussia in January 2020, Haaland has scored 85 goals for the German club in 88 competitions. He would be replaced in Dortmund by the 20-year-old German national team member Karim Adeyemi, who, like his predecessor, should be transferred from the team of the long-time leader of the Austrian league.

Three laps before the end, they lead the table ahead of Liverpool by three points.
