In 2017 Juventus Erling Haaland wanted to lure from Molde to Turin. Now Juve director Cherubini describes the reasons for the Norwegian’s cancellation.
Director Federico Cherubini from the Italian top club Juventus spoke about the reasons why BVB star Erling Haaland rejected the old lady in 2017. The Italian admitted that he regretted the broken commitment of the then 17-year-old.
“We do, it would be stupid to say anything else. But you have to see things in context,” Cherubini said in an interview with Tuttosport when asked whether he still regretted Haaland’s cancellation.
Juventus director on Haaland cancellation: “Maybe the prospect wasn’t too exciting”
The old lady was apparently planning to sign the Molde attacker at the time and then lend it. However, Haaland was not particularly impressed by this idea.
“Young players can be afraid of being loaned out. We were at the beginning of our U23 project and maybe the perspective we offered wasn’t too exciting,” admitted Cherubini, adding: “Maybe the idea was on loan not ideal for a player like him. Maybe things would be different today. “
Instead of switching to Juventus, Haaland stayed with Molde FK until 2019 before joining Austrian champions RB Salzburg for eight million euros. In January 2020, the Norwegian moved to Borussia Dortmund, where he has since scored 63 goals and 18 assists in 64 games.
