The 21-year-old, who has scored 21 goals this season, joined
Dortmund from RB Salzburg in 2020 and has gone on to establish
himself as one of the continent's hottest properties.
"The last six months I have chosen not to say anything out of
respect for Dortmund, but now the club has started to press me
into making a decision," Haaland, who scored twice in Dortmund's
5-1 win Norwegian broadecaster Viaplay.
"All I want to do is play football. But they press me ... about
my future, so that means I have to make a decision soon.
"That is what they (Dortmund) want. It means things will happen
now."
Haaland, whose contract runs until 2024, added that he would
have preferred to focus on football instead of being distracted
by talk of his future during a busy run of fixtures for
Dortmund, who trail Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich by three
points.
"We are in the middle of a difficult period, with a lot of
games," Haaland said.
"I have said from the beginning that I want to focus on
football, because that is when I am at my best. But I can't do
that now."
