German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund has officially ended Sebastien Haller’s loan spell with Spanish side Real Valladolid.
The Ivorian striker’s season-long loan has been cut short, with reports indicating he bid farewell to his Valladolid teammates earlier today.
The decision to recall Haller is part of Borussia Dortmund’s plan to facilitate a transfer to his former club, FC Utrecht.
Utrecht, currently sitting third in the Eredivisie with 36 points, is in a strong position to challenge for a higher spot on the league table.
The Dutch side is just three points behind second-placed Ajax and within striking distance of leaders PSV Eindhoven, who top the table with 45 points.
Haller’s potential move to Utrecht comes amidst interest from other clubs, including Dinamo Zagreb, who have been linked to the striker in recent days.
The recall marks a strategic move for Dortmund as they seek to secure the best outcome for the Ivorian forward, whose next destination could be crucial for both his career and his suitor’s ambitions.
