that interview is certainly interesting - especially with that random post the other day about March factored in. could it be that now he starts to make it clear to Dortmund & City that he wants to come to us and then by March it’ll be public knowledge that that’s his next destination (in the same way we all know Mbappe is off to Madrid)? hopefully, probably just trying to squeeze puzzle pieces together that don’t necessarily fit but either way it’s exciting.
 
What is it with footballers who are soft arses!?

Dortmund are bothering him about next season and what he is doing!? Sorry tell them I’m of I have a buyout so stop bothering me so I can finish the season and fuck of. ;)

Sounds like we'll all be finding out real soon where he's going.

I think we mat be finding out whether (or not more likely) he is exteding his contract with Dortmund, or leaving in the summer. That is what they are pushing after all. Doesn't mean he has to or would announce or even decide where he will actually go.
 
Not sure those subtitles are right, eh.

This is how his interview translates into spanish.

 
So Dortmund putting pressure on him to make a decision now. "All I want to do is play football and focus on the season, but they won't let me do that so that means I have to make a decision now". I would assume they are putting pressure on him to decide if he is going to stay or not (which he hasn't ruled out, at least not publicly), not for him to decide which club he is going to. Nothing strange about that in my opinion, Dortmund need to know if he wants to leave or not since they dont want it to drag out all summer and perhaps miss out on signing a replacement. Dont think there is much more to these quotes.

It will still be a media circus about it until he is officially announced by another clubs this summer!

Hopefully it gets sorted early one way or the other.
Then if it's not us we can concentrate on other targets and hopefully get them done early too.
Fingers crossed it's us : )

Problem with that entire idea is Haaland has a release clause so it doesn't matter who Dortmund have better "relations" with. If Haaland wants us and we match it, the way Dortmund feel about us is irrelevant. Most of these journos have no idea what they're talking about the morons.

The media would make a deal of it any which way really. If he didn't have a release clause, it would be how much would it cost to buy him out. If he said he was leaving, it would be where he goes as well as how disrespectful he is. If he extended, back to how much to buy him out. Etc.

Agree, nothing wrong with Dortmund making him an offer to remove the release clause, and wanting a decision ahead of the summer so they can plan ahead. I think in context, terms like 'now' and 'get things started' have a bit more time to them than the words themselves suggest. He is clearly in no rush, and won't be rushed, he may decline Dortmund's offer and that may be the confirmation they want, but doubt he will rush to move or decide anything before he is ready.

Dortmund can do fuck all about who they give priority to as a release clause is a release clause and it’s entirely up to the player. The above is clickbait shite.

Indeed it is. I thought it was funny their conclusion to an interview about being pushed to discussions with Dortmund over his future was 'he is close to the white shirt'.
 
So he's been showing his club respect by not talking about the future at the same time he's paying Raiola to let everyone know that the circus is in town? He brought this on himself, albeit through his agent. The way he keeps repeating how BVB is pressuring himself seems unfair.

Are there actually? I know there are newspaper interviews with ex-team mates of his saying he said that, nothing on film or provable. If there are interviews with him, that's fair enough but I haven't actually seen any
