Ivorian striker Sebastien Haller is reportedly set up to join FC Utrecht again, with Borussia Dortmund ready to end the attacker's contract.
Sebastien Haller joined Ajax Dortmund for a reported fee of € 31 million in 2022. The French-Irorian hitman was soon diagnosed with testicular cancer, so he had no fitness and missed most of the 2022-23 season.
After Haller had undergone chemotherapy and recovered from his illness, the striker was lacking in fitness and he was limited to 19 games in all games in the 2023-24 season. When Dortmund became less willing to pay the large wage of the Ivorian, Haller was lent to LaLiga side Leganes and FC Utrecht, the Club Haller played for between 2015 and 2017 and scored 51 goals for.
Departure allowance from Dortmund
According to Bild, Borussia Dortmund is now ready to permanently separate with Haller, who recently considered staying in Dortmund. The striker, who earns € 10 million a year, is one of the best earners of the club and a financial burden for Dortmund.

The club is said to be ready to pay Haller a severance payment worth € 2 million, which will serve to compensate for Haller for the wages that he will miss in the last year of his current contract.
In the meantime, FC Utrecht is ready to welcome Haller, according to Bild. Utrecht has difficulty finding a striker to add to their team. David Min and Noah Ohio are currently the only options for Utrecht, who want to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.
