Erling Haaland's Classy Message To Borussia Dortmund Chiefs Saying That He Can't Leave In Summer

Erling Haaland has hinted he will stay at Borussia Dortmund this summer after claiming he is "respectful towards my contract" amid interest from Europe's top clubs.

The 20-year-old Dortmund striker has been in sensational goalscoring form and scored an impressive 41 times in 41 appearances in all competitions.

Haaland finished the season with his first piece of major silverware at Dortmund as his side beat RB Leipzig 4-1 in the German Cup final.

The Norwegian star's stunning exploits in Germany have attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Dortmund are expected to fend off interest for Haaland, whose current deal with the German club will expire in 2024.

However, the club could struggle to keep hold of Haaland next summer when his £68m release clause becomes active.

Haaland admitted he was relieved that Dortmund secured Champions League football for next season, saying he is a "big fan" of the competition.

The Norway international told Viaplay Fotball: "Like I have said before, I am a big fan of the Champions League -- and I think everyone knows that.

"It was a relief to secure that spot. It was really important."

Haaland also addressed his Dortmund future as he insisted that he will be "respectful" towards his current commitments to the club.

The former RB Salzburg striker added: "Well, I have a contract for a couple of fine years, so I am respectful towards my contract."

Haaland's excellent goalscoring form fired him to the Bundesliga Player of the Year award ahead of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

The Dortmund star insisted that he is taking his career step by step and has "big dreams" in football, along with his desire to win more silverware.

Haaland explained: "That is a good question. I am a simple guy. When I like something, I just want to have more.

"Like I have said before, when I score a goal, I always chase the next goal.

"I have big dreams! I just won my first major trophy and it was a great feeling. So, I want to win trophies."
