# Liverpool dealt blow as Haaland hold talks with Dortmund

Liverpool and Manchester United have been dealt a potential blow in their quest to signing Erling Haaland.

The 19-year-old is one of the most talked-about young players in Europe, following a stunning start to the season with Salzburg.

He already has 27 goals to his name, also becoming the first teenager to score in five consecutive Champions League matches.

According to [https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/bvb/erling-haaland-und-der-bvb-geht-jetzt-alles-ganz-schnell-plus-1480912.html](https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/bvb/erling-haaland-und-der-bvb-geht-jetzt-alles-ganz-schnell-plus-1480912.html)*[Ruhr Nachrichten](https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/bvb/erling-haaland-und-der-bvb-geht-jetzt-alles-ganz-schnell-plus-1480912.html)*, Haaland has held talks with Borussia Dortmund over a potential move.

He is believed to have flown there on Wednesday, the day after Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Salzburg in Austria.

RB Leipzig, who are owned by the same company as Salzburg, are also mentioned as a possible suitor.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Liverpool’s interest in Haaland hasn’t felt as concrete as United’s, but this is still a slight blow.

The youngster is a player of enormous potential, already looking such a formidable striker at just 19.

Dortmund appear to be in pole position as things stand, but it will be interesting to see if there is a twist in the saga.

Haaland would have to bide his time for regular football if he did join Liverpool, which may work against them.
