Erling Haaland Throws Shirt At FC Koln Player Before Storming Down Tunnel

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland was visibly unhappy with his team's performance after a disappointing 2-2 draw against FC Koln.

The 20-year-old Norwegian, who has scored 39 goals in 36 games in all competitions this season, netted a brace during Saturday afternoon's Bundesliga clash at The RheinEnergieSTADION, including a wonderful opener after just two minutes and 48 seconds.

He was once again pivotal in everything Edin Terzić's side did but his performance wasn't enough to secure all three points and, after the final whistle, a clearly frustrated Haaland threw his shirt at FC Koln defender Jorge Meré before storming down the tunnel.

He really did not look happy. But can you blame him?

Haaland's actions will only fuel the fire when it comes to his future at Borussia Dortmund.

Just hours before his goalscoring efforts against FC Koln, it was reported that Real Madrid have been informed that Haaland wants to play for them, with the Norwegian striker eager to become the club's 'main man' next season.

He believes Los Blancos are the 'ideal' club for his career, according to Spanish publication ABC, who claim the 20-year-old is determined to play in Madrid should he leave the Bundesliga in the summer.

In addition to the above reports, another Spanish publication, Marca, also report that Haaland wants to join Zinedine Zidane at the Bernabeu.

The 20-year-old striker, who is currently valued at €110 million, has attracted the interest of top European clubs in recent months, although his hefty price tag will mean only a select few will be able to attain his services.

In fact, Haaland's agent Mino Raiola has recent claimed that only ten clubs will be able to afford the generational talent as a €100 million release clause comes into effect in 2022.

Raiola also said recently that his client could move to England's top flight at the end of the season.

"It is obvious that everybody is looking at Erling as one of those potential new future stars because it's so difficult to do what he does at his age at his level," he told BBC.

"He will be one of the future stars of the next decade because we see that stars such as Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo and Messi are coming to an age where everyone asks themselves: 'How long can we still enjoy them?'

"So everyone is looking for the new generation."
