Nothing is going well for Sébastien Haller. After leaving Borussia Dortmund, he made the surprising choice to sign for Leganés. And even then, things don't get better for him.

Football is a sport that surprises very quickly. This is the case for Sébastien Haller for whom everything happened very quickly. We still remember his magnificent season in 2021-2022 under the colors of Ajax Amsterdam. The Ivorian striker had scored 32 goals and delivered 9 assists, all in 39 matches including 38 starts. And that’s what opened the doors of Borussia Dortmund to him after the departure of Norwegian giant Erling Haaland.

The latter had even been mentioned at Real Madrid, but it is ultimately with BVB that he will commit for an amount of 34.5 million euros (bonus included). It was then that he signed a contract binding him to the yellows until 2026. But in the meantime, everything changed for the Ivorian international.

Sébastien Haller, the cancer that changes everything

A few days after his arrival at Borussia Dortmund in July 2022, Sébastien Haller suffered a first hard blow. “Sébastien Haller had to leave the BVB training camp in Bad Ragaz due to illness and has already returned to Dortmund. During examinations, a testicular tumor was discovered. Get well soon, Sébastien Haller. » However, he did not give up, because he wanted to return to his best level and win at Borussia Dortmund. “Thank you all for your many messages of support and affection since yesterday’s announcement. My family and I thank you. I will now focus on my recovery to come back stronger”he declared after his club's press release.

The good news is that he returned to the game on January 2, 2023 and even resumed collective training with Borussia Dortmund. Just 8 days later, he played against Fortuna Düsseldorf in his team's 5-1 victory. Later, on January 22, he will play in the league with BVB. Back in shape, Sébastien Haller played 22 matches and scored 9 goals with 3 assists in support. During the previous season, he only played 19 matches, including only 6 starts. The latter had even been injured in the ankle. He will end the season with 3 goals and a small assist. It was then that the BVB decided to part ways with him. In search of regular playing time, the Ivorian chose to sign for Leganés on a season-long loan. But this is far from being the solution to his problem.

Haller can't do it with Leganés

Despite signing for a club where he constantly has playing time, Sébastien Haller cannot find the net. After 5 games with Leganés, or 323 minutes played, Haller still has zero goals. In Spain, its situation is worrying and AS rightly wrote: “Haller’s offensive limbo”.

“Sébastien Haller is still in the limbo of performance from which he cannot escape. Five league games have not yet been enough for the Ivorian player, formerly signed by Borussia Dortmund to replace Haaland, to find the net in official competition. It also happens that far from improving, each day he seems more isolated. He doesn't know how to take advantage of his virtues as a proven scorer. Now, a hip injury has kept him out of the squad with his country for the current international break, in addition to missing him from training for a Leganés team that hopes to have him back for the visit to the Metropolitano on October 20 »continues the media.

“In those 323 minutes spread across five games, Haller only took four shots, including just one shot on target. Of the 108 times he touched the ball, only nine were in the opponent's box. Against Getafe (he played 16 minutes), he didn't even have the opportunity to scratch the ball in the Barça penalty area,” concludes AS. Despite everything, he can count on the support of his coach, Borja Jiménez. “I don’t think Haller will lose motivation. I'm not worried about Seb. He has a goal and he will end up doing it (…) I think he is an attacker who adapts. He has very good conditions inside the box. There are options for playing with many systems. The important thing is that it is complementary. It is in line with what we want. With different shades. This enriches the team. »
