Erling Haaland became a "burden" on Borussia Dortmund before his £51million transfer to Manchester City.
That's according to the Bundesliga club's sporting director Sebastian Kehl, who says every conversation about Dortmund became about the highly-rated Norway international and what team he'd be joining next.
Dortmund signed Haaland from RB Salzburg for just £18m and he immediately made a huge impression, going on to score a staggering 86 goals in 88 appearances in all competitions for the German club. His form caught the eye of the likes of Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich, and the speculation began.
