It has not even been half a year since Sébastien Haller arrived at Leganés, but his time at Butarque seems to be nearing its end. The Ivorian forward, touted as one of the standout signings last summer, has not met expectations, and both the club and Borussia Dortmund would reportedly agree to terminate his loan.

Haller landed in LaLiga with the tag of being an attacking reference, but his statistics tell a different story. He has only managed 405 minutes in eight appearances, without scoring a single goal. His performance has been plagued by physical issues and a lack of adaptation to Borja Jiménez's system, which demands forwards with a high defensive commitment. His last match in the Copa del Rey against Estepona showcased his limitations, leading to his exclusion from the team's plans since then.

Haller is the highest-paid player at the club

Leganés aims to free up Haller's spot, which would result in a significant saving of around €2.5 million and greater flexibility to strengthen the squad in winter, as confirmed by the newspaper Marca. The sports management already has clear priorities, such as recruiting a left-back following Franquesa's injury, in addition to enhancing the forward line that fails to meet this season's demands.

This move would be accompanied by other departures, like that of Ecuadorian Jackson Porozo, also on loan, who has not seen any minutes in LaLiga. The winter transfer market promises to be crucial for Leganés as they seek to rectify mistakes and turn around their season.
