Dutch club Utrecht is working towards signing Borussia Dortmund striker Sébastien Haller, who is currently on loan at Spanish side Leganés.
Details. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Utrecht is pushing to secure Haller on a loan deal. Negotiations with Borussia Dortmund over new terms are progressing positively. The existing loan agreement with Leganés is expected to be terminated early, with all parties involved in favor of the move.
Haller is reportedly open to returning to Utrecht, where he enjoyed a successful spell between 2015 and 2017.
Recall. In 2023, Haller overcame a battle with cancer. The striker underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy, had surgery, and remarkably returned to professional football just six months after his diagnosis.
His loan stint at Leganés this season has been underwhelming, with Haller failing to score in nine appearances. A return to Utrecht could provide the opportunity to rejuvenate his career.
Meanwhile, it has also been reported that Bayern Munich is showing interest in Borussia Dortmund's rising star Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.
