Haaland: Paderborn leaders reveals how the striker escaped!

Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland - Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker, who made a name for himself in the Premier League, almost wore the SC Paderborn jersey in 2019. According to Markus Krösche, the current sports director of Eintracht Frankfurt, he was very interested in Haaland in his previous role as a Paderborn manager after watching the then 18-year-old striker at the U19 European Championship in Finland. "He noticed it immediately," said Krösche in a podcast. Despite his efforts to convince Haaland of moving to Germany, the youngster decided for Red Bull Salzburg and moved to Austria for almost eight million euros. In the meantime, Haaland has scored 115 goals in 131 games for Manchester City and is now in focus again when his team competes against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, such as laola1.at reported.

Eintracht Frankfurt Markus Krösche has more transfer stories to tell. In another podcast, he revealed that the opportunity to hire Cristiano Ronaldo was once on the table. The board spokesman Axel Hellmann caused excitement when he came to Ronaldo in Krösche's office with a financing plan. "You want to fool me?" Was Krösche's first reaction when he understood the dimension of this idea. Although the idea was tempting, Krösche quickly realized that Ronaldo was "one number too big" for Eintracht. These anecdotes illustrate Krösche's far -sighted perspective in the transfer business and its sense of talents, which was already evident in Haaland's negotiations href = "https://www.tag24.de/sport/fussball/verein/eintracht-frankfurt/ronaldo-zur-sge-beimahe-haaland-holt-kroescht-krass-krass-transfer-secret-3359133" Target = "daily"> tag24.de notes
