'A matter of respect' - Zorc won't comment on Dortmund interest in Haaland

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has refused to pour fuel on transfer rumours linking Red Bull Salzburg forward Erling Braut Haaland with a move to the club.

The 19-year-old forward is considered to be one of Europe’s hottest properties, with a return of 28 goals in 21 outings this season sparking an expected scramble for the Norway international hitman, who is in possession of a release clause of just £17 million (€22m).

BVB are one of the clubs linked with a move for him, with the Bundesliga outfit having struggled with just one recognised centre-forward, the injury-prone Paco Alcacer, in the opening months of the season.
