Man City warned of Haaland dressing room disruption

Norway striker Erling Haaland is enjoying an outstanding first season at Manchester City.

The centre-forward has netted 27 goals in 24 Premier League games, with 33 goals in all competitions.

However, Haaland could become an issue in the City dressing room given his desire to move clubs frequently.

A recent interview from his agent suggested he may be eyeing a transfer to Real Madrid.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl recently told German publication Sport Bild: “As much as we always loved Haaland and he was successful with us, in the end, he became a burden on the dressing room, the club and the whole environment.

"He had become the subject of every conversation. Outside the club, almost everything was exclusively focused on him. In the end, the timing of the transfer was right for both parties. And we are all happy for Erling that he continues to be so successful."
