Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke has boldly insisted that the club will create a "new star" if Erling Haaland is prised away in the summer.
Haaland has evolved into one of Europe's very best strikers at Dortmund, where he's plundered 80 goals in 80 matches over the past two years. But the 21-year-old is expected to leave the club in the summer - with a host of top clubs plotting to take advantage of the reported £64million release clause in the striker's contract that is set to kick in at the end of the season.
Dortmund have garnered a reputation in Germany for rebounding admirably after losing top players. The Bundesliga outfit have cashed in on the likes Jadon Sancho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over the past few years, but have always replaced them with new stars; such as Haaland and Jude Bellingham.
