The CD Leganés has reached a definitive agreement for the departure of Sébastien Haller, putting an end to a brief and less fruitful period than expected. The Ivorian forward, who arrived as a star signing in the final minutes of the summer transfer market, failed to adapt to the style of Borja Jiménez's team. With physical problems and a playing profile that did not quite fit in with the pepineros' dynamics, Haller ended up third in the offensive rotation, behind Miguel de la Fuente and Diego García.

An Agreement Reached, Haller to Return to Germany

In the last hours, a preliminary agreement was reached between Utrecht, Borussia Dortmund, and Haller himself, allowing his return to the Dutch club where he shone between 2014 and 2017. As reported in the newspaper AS, the operation was unblocked after economic efforts from all parties, without Leganés compromising its salary limit or financial stability. The Madrid club will pay the corresponding part to the player until his last day at Butarque, while the rest of the salary will be covered by the agreement between Utrecht and Dortmund.

This exit represents a relief for Leganés, which will be able to reinvest in a new forward to fill the void left by Haller, as well as strengthen other priority positions, such as the left-back. Although the relationship ends amicably, there is a sense that Haller's experience with the white-and-blue team did not meet the expectations generated after his arrival.
