Report: Dortmund put Halstenberg talks on hold
Borussia Dortmund are yet to agree a deal to sign Marcel Halstenberg from RB Leipzig. Apparently, they want to get rid of Nico Schulz first.

The reason is obvious: Dortmund only want to sign Halstenberg if they manage to offload Nico Schulz first.
The 28-year-old, who arrived from Hoffenheim for €25,5 million, has been put up for sale after failing to live up to the expectations in his first two seasons at Signal Iduna Park.
Halstenberg has one year left on his contract with Leipzig, who are likely to cash in on the 29-year-old with a contract extension seemingly off the table.
Dortmund could sign the German football for a fee in the region of €8-12 million. First, however, they need to find a new club for Schulz.
