Goal.com says that Leipzig midfielder Sabitzer's contract is going to expire on June 30, 2022 and he doesn't want to extend it too. He has been linked with Bayern Munich nowadays. He is more than an average player so it is a great opportunity for him to play at the biggest club in this league.

Yes, that's what some media is speculating. The only question is whether Bayern needs such a player. They have Goretzka, Tolison and Müller in the position Sabitzer plays. Furthermore, another two players can take this position. In addition, Sabitzer is also no longer the youngest player. I think Nagelsmann certainly has interest, since he knows the player well. But we should wait and see how the first season goes for the new coach. Should he not do well, he could soon be history at Bayern and the matter Sabitzer thus be done.

According to a source, Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich has signed a new five-year deal with the team. This is really good news for Bayern Munich. The young player (26-year-old) had a great season last. He scored 6 goals and made 14 assists in 39 games in the last season. He is one of the most critical players for them.

Speculation that occurred regarding the future of Joshua Kimmich has finally ended after some time ago it was reported that Joshua Kimmich would move from bayern munchen, especially at that time he had fired the agent who had been taking care of all his contract matters.
with the new contract, of course, bayern munchen must accept several conditions proposed by joshua kimmich and one of them is joshua kimmich has asked for a salary increase that is double his salary last season, i think it is appropriate for bayern munchen to keep joshua kimmick who indeed last season performed quite well and had an important role for bayer munchen.

Successor to Philipp Lahm and was recognized as the UEFA Champions League Defender of the Season, this is the notable thing Kimmich had done, to be surely recognizable and from RB Leipzig he had joined Bayern Munich in 2015 up to now if they would not accept that condition and let Joshua Kimmich out of Bayern then another championship could be hard with just Lewandowski,

But in my opinion, every player of Bayern is a must to really get into that goal for another Championship, but right now Javi Martinez, Douglas Costa, Jann-Fiete Arp, Jérôme Boateng, David Alaba, Tiago Dantas, Alexander Nübel, was not in the team anymore, whether they are on loan or transfer to another team, but there are newcomers as well like Dayot Upamecano, Omar Richards, Chris Richards, Michaël Cuisance, Sven Ulreich, and Christian Früchtl.

The Leipzig midfielder Sabitzer is among the best available on the market, since he only has one year left on his current contract. He's versatility makes him an extremely valuable player. He can play as a 6, 8, or 10 and can perform outstandingly in any midfield position. On top of that, his long range belters and some unbelievable dead balls into the net have made him a name over the past few years.

Here's a highlight reel as an overview of his skills (for those who haven't followed him) ^[source]:

Chelsea had Haaland in mind, but it seems it was not working out for them. No doubt, Haaland is a very good and talented player which Chelsea will definitely benefit from if transferred to the team. However, Dormund still need Haaland in their squad, they are not ready to give him out. Chelsea now turned their attention to Lukaku, he scored 24 goals last season in Inter Milan, and I also think he is a good player.

I agree that Chelsea really wanted Haaland, but negotiations with Dortmund didn't go well. Chelsea finally had to choose another striker. And now
Chelsea are focused on being able to buy Romelu Lukaku from Inter, after Lukaku played amazingly with Inter, even managed to help Inter get
the Serie A trophy. I also have no doubts about Lukaku's quality, but let's not forget that Lukaku failed with Chelsea in 2011-2014. Taking that
into account I think what Chelsea did was a bit of a gamble to sign Lukaku, I still believe Haaland should be the right striker for Chelsea.

I think Chelsea wont sign Halland or Lukaku.For Halland you need to offer an extreme amount of money to sign him and Lukaku is currently really satisfied in Inter and is playing his best football of his career.Chelsea will need to find someone else.

It looks like Haaland has been difficult to buy this year, requiring huge funds to make Dortmund change their minds. But as for Lukaku
I'm optimistic Inter will accept Chelsea's latest offer of 130 million euros, although until now Inter have not responded to the offer from
Chelsea. If we look at Inter who are experiencing a financial crisis, Inter should have accepted Chelsea's offer. Moreover, according to rumors,
Lukaku has agreed to the salary offer that will be given by Chelsea verbally, so my prediction in the near future Chelsea will succeed in buying
Lukaku from Inter.

Possible that they will getting Lukaku , hopefully they doing that , as would be love to see Haaland playing in the German League.

Sabitzer would be fitting into the playing style from Bayern Munich , and this would be getting there midfield more dangerous as it is already now.
He is a very good player at his position and he can also play some other positions.

I also prefer Haaland to play in the Bundesliga, so that Dortmund can beat Bayern's dominance, so the Bundesliga is more interesting if Haaland is
still playing for Dortmund. Hopefully Chelsea will get Lukaku soon, especially according to Ian McGarry as an English football transfer expert,
said Tuchel preferred Lukaku's style of play to Haaland. This makes the possibility of Lukaku moving to Chelsea only a matter of time.

[mv1986]

That would be useful to bring calm into the team. But above all it would be good for Haaland. So he knows that Dortmund is behind him and that they need him. But we all know how the game works.   

I guess and think that he knows that now that Dortmund is staying behind him already .
And for sure he know that they need him and also it was a very good sign that he has played yesterday in the friendly match.
If it would be not clear that he maybe will be leaving the Club i guess he hasnt played then.

I think they already got what they can and I do not think that they have anything big special coming up next. Dortmund already bought Donyell Malen and Gregor Kobel, those are the two biggest names they spend money on, they spent over 45 million on these two names. They also sold a few smaller name players after Sancho, but it was a pandemic season and I feel like there is a good chance they may end up with a big financial trouble because of it, hence they already got two names and whatever money left could be going to paying off debts they made this season.

I am just guessing and this is not a fact, maybe tomorrow we will hear about a 50 million euro transfer from them, who knows? But so far I feel like there is a good chance we could end up with either free transfer or no transfer at all, which will definitely anger Haaland and he will probably be gone soon.

They won't end up in big financial trouble. With the transfer of Sancho they are definitely fine. Not only did cost a lot of money regarding the transfer fee, but Dortmund now also saves his salary, which would have been increased anyway I assume. Haaland won't leave unless a club is willing to pay an absolutely gigantic sum of money.

Also I think they can sell relatively well their tickets again to vaccinated fans and those hardcore fans in Dortmund are probably going to get vaccinated in order to go the home games. Dortmund will be alright.

Haaland is one of the best striker Dormund have, and if he leaves, it will affect their squad. Dormund don't want to lose two strikers at a time, they sold out Jadon Sancho.
Chelsea's attention is on Lukaku, although, Inter rejected their offer. But, it seems Chelsea won't give up. However, I prefer Haaland to Lukaku. Hopefully Lukaku will play again in Chelsea after 7 years.

They don't have bad financial trouble but they have problem with Haaland. The release price in the contract signed between them allows Haaland to be bought by other clubs with discount price in the next transfer season.

So if Dortmund don't think they can convince Haaland to sign a new contract, with bigger release cost, and can not convince him to stay longer, they will have to sell Haaland in this summer. It is bad to wait one more season and lose half of income from Haaland transfer.

The release clause will be valid since June 2022. It is a trap for Dortmund because if they won't win any title in a season 2021-2022, they will no longer be able to keep Haaland.

Despite the conflicting rumors, Borussia Dortmund have privately let it be known that Erling Haaland's release clause will only be valid starting June 2022, at a price point of €75 million (roughly $91 million).

@SquirrelJulietGarden it’s a very difficult call for Dortmund because if they sell Halland now the fans will be furious, if they sell him next year which is 100% guarantee they’ll have to then they’ll be getting peanuts from his sale.

Lastly the management has to decide whether it’s worth keeping him or it’s not, but from a financial perspective they should sell Halland now and reinvest that money in the squad.

Erling Haaland is a fan favorite most of the time Dortmund keeps on winning because of him, but I think they should risk it this season and let Haaland play this season, but if they can not make any progress then that will be a problem for Dortmund, If they can not keep Haaland for another season they really should sell him, to another team, but Erling Haaland has proven his worth in playing for Dortmund, Erling Haaland career total for the league is 91 Goals,

Bryne 2 - Total 18 Goals

Bryne, Molde 2, Molde - Total 14 Goals

Red Bull Salzburg - Total 17 Goals

Borussia Dortmund - Total 40 Goals

Erling Haaland has given his all for Dortmund that is why I really think he has given his worth to the team and if the club decided to let him go, then there is no shame on that, and Erling Haaland had given a good shot for Borussia Dortmund over his 2 years.

[AverageGlabella]

Haaland will stay for this season but I think next season he will be moving on. Barcelona or Real Madrid might have recouped some of their finances by then and will be able to afford him and Dortmund will be cautious about dragging it out for to long because his contract will expire if they wait a couple of seasons. I expect haaland to go for around 130 million.

I think Dortmund will beat Bayern to the title this season and I think that will be because of Haaland getting more than 20 goals this season.

There are rumor that Chelsea are readily to pay that price for Haaland but Dortmund currently want higher. I don't think they will be able to sell Haaland at higher price. Next summer, the release clause will force them to sell Haaland under 100M, so why won't sell him now?

I think Dortmund will beat Bayern to the title this season and I think that will be because of Haaland getting more than 20 goals this season.

I disagree. I would like to see Dortmund or any club win Bundesliga than Bayern because if Bayern dominate it too long, Bundesliga is very boring. However, Dortmund don't have enough power to beat Bayern especially after they already sold Sancho. Dortmund, after the era of Klopp, are very unstable with their results and they failed to beat Bayern because of such unstability.

The rumors that we have heard have not been from reputable sources and have been from tabloids. I do not think Haaland is moving this season he just came off one of the greatest seasons we have seen for a striker and because of that his value will be a lot higher. I did not know he had a release clause of 100 million next season but why would Chelsea pay over that amount now when they can wait until next season? Next season Haaland will have a pick of a lot of teams and not just Chelsea too because a lot of clubs will be more encouraged to pay the 100 million instead of 130 million.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBocfSNnoGM

He is a great player but he is also 27 years old, he wasn't "this" good before this season, he was good, but I really do not think that he should be worth 40 million like transfermarkt says he does, he is at best 25 million or so if you ask me. Secondly Bayern is also another bundesliga team and I am sure he can get used to play there a lot easier, moving from one nation to another nation is not really too difficult for some people considering they are professional players, but staying at the same nation is of course a lot easier.

What I consider to be a better deal here is that Bayern gets him for free, which seems to be possible, that way you pay nothing for him, and he is definitely worth the salary Bayern may give him. I just do not like it when teams pay way too much money for players age 27+, same goes for players as good as Kane or Lukaku as well, they are AMAZING but they are aging very quickly, it is risky move.

If he moves, it will definitely be to England. He grew up there because of his father, and the way which football is played in the Premier League suits him. Barcelona will certainly not be in a better financial position next season. The debts are far too high for that. And Real can't afford such high sums at the moment either.

i also think that E. Haaland will only go to england ... there are so many top players playing in the league and there are numerous top clubs - there he can prove himself almost weekly against the top defenders then and show his ability

They have all reasons to keep him even if he then can leave for 75 million EUR. It is not only the transfer fee you have to consider. They would need to find a substitute this year right now so to say and Haaland is even quite cheap in salary for his calibre. No more jersey and merchandise sales related to Haaland, maybe no qualification for the champions league and maybe a bad season overall without him. Replacing Haaland and Sancho seems impossible to me. They could lose a lot of money either way.

[Lafu]

As the first round of the DFB Cup has started Dortmund won there game against Wiesbaden .
And surprise Haaland scored all 3 Goals in this game and played very well.
Also Malen got his chance and got in , in the second half and got a chance for score a goal also but he missed.

[YuginKadoya]

Haaland will stay for this season but I think next season he will be moving on. Barcelona or Real Madrid might have recouped some of their finances by then and will be able to afford him and Dortmund will be cautious about dragging it out for to long because his contract will expire if they wait a couple of seasons. I expect haaland to go for around 130 million.

I think Dortmund will beat Bayern to the title this season and I think that will be because of Haaland getting more than 20 goals this season.

That is what may happen in the next season, and Dortmund can not afford Haaland anymore, his market value is €130.00m right now, He was Ranked No. 2 among all players worldwide, Ranked No. 1 on Bundesliga 2nd was Joshua Kimmich and Robert Lewandowski at No. 9, This is why the Dortmund team is really making a hard decision this time, but maybe if they will become champion this season who knows they might get a chance to afford Erling Haaland in the next season, which we will see on August 15 when Dortmund will face Eintracht Frankturf.
