TRANSFER RUMOURS
Haaland's curious message has fans speculating about future
When it comes to the world's most in-demand footballing talent, there is no doubt that Erling Haaland is on the lips. But where will he be playing next year?
Earlier this month, on 15 December, at the end of the Bundesliga match against Greuther Fürth - in which he scored two goals in a 3-0 win - Erling Haaland walked the length of the pitch to greet the Borussia Dortmund fans. That enigmatic return to the pitch was interpreted by many as a farewell to Signal Iduna Park.
Haaland to give Dortmund his best
And this Thursday the Norwegian striker continued to fuel rumours over his departure from Dortmund with a mysterious message on Instagram:

"My next six months will be my best six months.” Haaland's words sound like a farewell.
Mino Raiola, the player’s high-profile agent, said a few days ago that Haaland has not yet decided on his future, but we know that Real Madrid are among those to have a keen interest in his signature, as Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke revealed.
"The only thing I know for sure is that Real Madrid are very interested in him. Manchester City are also interested in the Norwegian striker, although it seems that they will end up opting for Harry Kane,” he said.
Be that as it may, Haaland's latest gestures seem to indicate that his future lies away from Borussia Dortmund and, like fellow sought after young forward, Kylian Mbappé, he is determined to give his absolute best in his final few months at his current club.
