'Now we move on' - Erling Haaland makes Borussia Dortmund future admission amid Liverpool links

Erling Haaland believes it is time to 'move on' from the comments he made earlier this month about his Borussia Dortmund future.

Speaking earlier this month, Haaland revealed that Dortmund are pushing him to make a decision over his future and hinted he could decide his next move in the coming weeks.

The forward’s impressive form has resulted in the forward being linked with a host of top clubs around Europe, including Liverpool.

The Norway international has also been linked with moves to Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United over the past year.

However, Red Bull Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund claimed last year that Haaland 'will land' at Liverpool instead of United or Real if he leaves the German side.

"I don't really want to say too much about it, but I felt it was time for me to say something,” Haaland told Sky when asked about his recent comments.

"A lot of others were speaking - so that was it. Now, I don't want to say too much. I said what I said, and now we move on."

Haaland has scored 80 goals in 79 appearances since joining Dortmund from RB Salzburg two years ago, but the 21-year-old believes he can still get even better.

He said: "I think I can improve on everything," he said. If you say I am good at finishing, I can improve my finishing a lot. I can become faster, so I can improve that.

“I can become stronger, so I can improve that. But if I should improve one thing, it would be to not get injured, because if I am not injured I will play a lot more games and I will deliver even better.

“If you were to ask what my goals are for 2022, it is to not be injured, and the goals for the rest of my career are not be injured. That's the main thing."

The forward has been after picking up a muscle injury during his side’s recent 3-2 win over Hoffenheim, but he expects to be back playing soon.

"It's going good, I'm training good and I'll soon be back,” Haaland replied when asked for an update on his injury.
