I think you mean the season before

Anyone who thinks Dortmund will be in danger of missing out on the UCL next season if Haaland departs hasn’t been watching Bundesliga this season

what do you mean?

I referring to Haaland staying so Dortmund chances in Bundesliga to stay in top 4 is still higher. As you can see dortmund this season has been terrible with and without Haaland, so they need to keep all of their advantage like Haaland to keep them stay afloat in League.

Terrible? they are a point behind Bayern and 7 clear of a team looking to get into the top 4.

Early days, and they can slip without their star player, but the micky mouse league is certainly mouseier this season. With him in it, they might even challenge for top spot close to the end, before finally missing out.

I don't see a January move happening. Nobody benefits that much from rushing it. We would probably benefit the most, but at a cost and added complexity of having to negotiate with Dortmund.

I can see him being happy to wait till the summer when he can pick his right move, at a club he is settled at and can work on his recovery, while potentially even one last shot at challenging for the title there.

I can see Dortmund, who will already make a significant profit on him, not needing to worry about an extra 30m and easily demanding more. Nothing in it for them to rush to find a replacement, having already replaced Sancho with Malen, and they can come across to the fans that they are focused on challenging tlrather than being a sellibg club.

I can see us holding off till the release clause takes one side (Dortmund) out the game, and they can take the time to secure either Haaland or an alternative. Rather than trying to haggle with them, eventhough an extra 30m here or there coild be the difference between securing the player in january or battling others in the summer. Particularly if they have any indication of his intention or chances of landing him.
 
There were a couple of missed headers/chances from our short forwards that probably would have been scored by a good tall striker..Equally, and correct me if mistaken, Haaland is not prolific with headed goals .As has been stated before, who do you drop when you can win games like PSG without a striker..am sure Pep will sort that dilemma out !!!
 
He is going to be sold when the market it at his highest for him.

This whole release clause deal, is primed for Summer 2022.

Summer window is when most teams do their changes, selling + buying.

They want is many teams in for him as desperate to buy and then will weigh up everyone’s offer.

No deal will be done before and any talk or potential deals agreed will mean nothing.

FYI - Norway are not even in the WC making him even more appealing for clubs.

You’re assuming he isn’t already decided on where he wants to go.

Barca, PSG, Bayern are most likely out the question for money / league / league reasons respectively. It’s PL or Spain.

Rags are rags, fucking circus. Liverpool won’t spend, Chelsea have Lukaku.

It’s us or Madrid. I’d assume he’s already made his mind up between the two, assuming both are even in for him.

The Haaland camp might want to wait until summer, but that’ll be for footballing reasons, not financial.

Fun to dream but hes going nowhere in Jan for me. Makes zero sense for Dortmund.

If reports of the clause kicking in in Jan are true, it doesn’t matter what Dortmund think.

It makes zero sense for Raiola to sell in Jan, as he and his client will get more money waiting for the summer market.

Dortmund’s relevance in this transfer disappears as soon as the clause takes effect.

If it kicked in Jan, it'd be leaked already. The circus would be in scramble

Arguably it has been leaked already - there were several articles at the end of the summer window saying the clause would kick in from January.

The circus isn’t in scramble because the people who would be briefing the media outlets to run with it (Raiola and his team) aren’t interested in a scramble in Jan.

Nowt to do with Dortmund.

There Are no such reports. There was one guess at it months ago, one echo of it, and the shit didn't stick. The only place it stuck, is here where it gets repeated often. No other speculation merchantnhas even bothered to punt it, that's how poor an attempt at clickbait that was. And there is also no logic in it, even for the wishful thinkers or for it to be true.

Agree Haaland's camp might have a chance of getting more money in the summer and having more options, but on the other hand, they may well get what they would get and accept both in january and the summer, so might not be as black and white that one.

Ultimately, his injury may play the biggest part in stopping any January move. For both him and a buying club. He may want to recover at Dortmund on familiar territory and a buying club may want to see the outcome of that recovery.

My point wasn’t whether the clause kicks in during Jan or the summer - I haven’t got a fucking clue either way, frankly. It’s all speculation.

My point was: suggesting this has anything to do with Dortmund once the clause does kick in is moot - once a team hits the clause, they have to put it to the player and his agent, whatever they might think of the timing or their relationship with the buying club.

This is all down to Raiola and Haaland now - they’ll take him wherever they want, whenever they want. Dortmund have literally no say in it anymore.
 
He could also resign for a couple more years and kill this clause dead. He seems happy in Dortmund.

Or there is no mention of it, leaked or speculative, because it just isnt there or is unlikely enough to not be there for anyone serious to punt it around.

What you say makes sense, re Haaland's camp not needing to leak anything if they are happy to wait for a summer move. But they can't really hide it feom buying clubs, people interested would know they can get him in January and would try accordingly, and the media that cover them would pick up on it to some extent.

Marca tried it months ago. Good effort, but didn't stick. A few blues keep repeating it becsuse they want it to be true. That's that for a January release clause for me.


If indeed Dortmund dropping out out of the CL has any impact on anyone at all wanting to chance it in January, we will see more claims, true or not, of the release clause kicking in in january over the next couple of weeks. If we don't, I dare say you can forget about that marca attempt.

I agree. The discussion was on the chances of him moving in january. Which, regardless of when the release clause kicks in, are slim. Slimmer if it kicks in in the summer, obviously, as then Dortmund are in the equation too
