- Summary: LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, UK (FILE - OCTOBER 1, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) RED BULL SALZBURG HEAD COACH, JESSE MARSCH, ON SALZBURG'S 19-YEAR-OLD STRIKER ERLING BRAUT HAALAND, SAYING: "I think he's still so young. And as long as he keeps his mentality straight and keeps focused on all the right things, which I think because he has a father who's played football it's a little bit easier for him to understand what the expectations are. But if he keeps a strong mentality then I think the sky's the limit for him." ERLING HAALAND TRAINING WITH RED BULL SALZBURG

The transfer fee was undisclosed but British media reported the German side paid the equivalent of about 18 million pounds ($23 million dollars) for the 19-year-old, who signed a deal until June 2024.
