Dortmund lose all their negotiating power as soon as Haaland states who he wants to join.
People keep missing this point. Dortmund only have the leverage of holding him another year, not deciding which clubs they can play off against each other to secure an inflated price.
Dortmund can publicly ask £200m, but if Haaland states he only wishes to join City or whoever, they have little option to take what premium is on offer this summer, rather than take a massive hit next year.
Dortmund hate City, they would love to use our name or fleece us.
We won't let them do either.
