Liverpool dealt blow as Haaland opts to join Leipzig

Rumoured Liverpool and Manchester United transfer target Erling Haaland is set to join RB Leipzig, according to journalist Kevin Palmer.

The 19-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Salzburg, scoring 28 times already.

One of those came away to Liverpool in the Champions League and he looked a threat in both matches against them.

The Reds have been linked with a move for Haaland, while United’s interest has arguably seemed more genuine.

It appears as though both will miss out on the striker, however, with Palmer taking to Twitter to confirm that the Norwegian is set to move to Leipzig:

So Erling Braut Haaland appears to have decided to remain in the Red Bull set-up by moving to Leipzig.

The big concern was always the amount of game time at Man Utd. Timo Werner’s exit now appears to be inevitable.

Read Liverpool Verdict

Although Haaland is clearly a huge prospect, Liverpool are unlikely to see this is a major blow.
As mentioned, they didn’t seem quite as hellbent on signing him as United – it may be that Jurgen Klopp never wanted him in the first place.

Haaland does have the potential to be a future superstar, though, so Liverpool may rue missing out on him further down the line.
