Since his arrival at Dortmund, all the records seem to be tumbling down in front of the Norwegian phenomenon. Halland announced himself to the Dortmund faithful with a hat-trick on his debut and became the first player to score 25 goals in 25 Bundesliga matches.
The 20-year-old won the "Golden Boy Award" in 2020 and became the youngest player to reach the 100 goal mark surpassing superstars like Cristiano and Messi. Since his move from Salzburg, Halland has scored 121 goals in 171 matches with an incredible average of 0.71 goals per game. The Norweigian also has a stunning goal-return in the Champions League.
Blessed with speed, movement, and lethal finishing, Halland is the embodiment of a complete striker. With his €75 million release clause that becomes active in the summer of 2021, it would be a surprise to see the Dortmund talisman in the Signal Iduna Park next season.
Here are the three possible destinations for Europe's most wanted striker.
3) Manchester United
The Machester United regime is a great admirer of the Norweigian and tried to sign him in 2020. Manchester United will be signing a new manager next season, and Haaland could be the perfect addition to their new chapter. With Ronaldo not getting any younger and the likes of Cavani and Martial wanting out, the Dortmund sensation could be the man to lead the line at Old Trafford.
2) Chelsea
Lukaku's recent comment has put his future in doubt at Stamford Bridge. The Belgian's departure could be a silver lining for the Blues, as they could use the allocated funds to fund Haaland's transfer. The Norwegian will fit perfectly into Tuchel's system and bolster Chelsea's chances of winning the league next campaign.
1) Manchester City
Rumour has it that Haaland was spotted in Manchester during his winter break. If the Cityzens sign Halland, then the failure to sign Kane would be a blessing in disguise for the Mancunians. Alf-Inge Haland (Erling's father) was an ex-city player and wants his son to follow in his footsteps. The signing of Haaland could be the final piece in the puzzle in their conquest for Champions League glory.
