Manchester City transfer news: Erling Haaland growing frustrated at Borussia Dortmund and could leave this summer
The Norwegian goal machine had intended to stay at Dortmund for another year, but could leave if the club fail to qualify for the Champions League

Erling Haaland has put Europe’s biggest clubs, including Manchester City and Chelsea, on high alert as he considers his future at Borussia Dortmund.
According to AS, Haaland is losing patience with Dortmund’s poor form and is prepared to leave this summer if they miss out on Champions League qualification.
The clinical Norwegian striker continues to impress on an individual level, but is worried about the prospect of spending a year outside of the Champions League, where he has shone recently.
Although Dortmund reached the competition’s quarter-finals with a 5-4 aggregate win over Sevilla, they are fifth in the Bundesliga with just eight games remaining.
Haaland made his frustration clear at the end of Saturday’s 2-2 draw with FC Koln, storming straight down the tunnel when the final whistle sounded.
He had scored both of Dortmund’s goals, taking his total for the season to 33 in 31 games, but was evidently exasperated by the club’s inconsistent form.
Ahead of their quarter-final first leg with Man City, Dortmund face a crucial match against Eintracht Frankfurt, who sit a place and four points above them in the table.
