Borussia Dortmund's striker conundrum: How should BVB approach their current striker surplus?

The argument behind moving on from Sébastien Haller:

Sébastien Haller's story at Borussia Dortmund has been one of triumphant highs and very bitter lows since the Ivory Coast international signed from Ajax two summers ago. From his cancer diagnosis to beating the disease and coming back to score nine goals and provide five assists in his return from treatment that season, everything was set up for Haller and Dortmund to have a fairytale ending as the club was one win away from winning their first Bundesliga title in over a decade as the final matchday approached of the 2022/23 season.

Unfortunately for Haller and the club, this was not meant to be, and the season ended without a trophy as the club drew with Mainz at home. The next season would start off very slow for Haller, with the player only managing a single assist in 14 appearances in the league. Injuries and post-treatment struggles continued to hamper the striker, but he still managed to score some very important goals for both his country and the club, with the player scoring in the AFCON final to help his country lift the trophy. He also scored an all-important goal in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid to show that he's still capable of having big moments in games.

Haller's lack of involvement in last season's games, even when fit, combined with the signing of Guurassy, is a signal to the player that the club does not see him playing a massive role moving forward. This is coupled with the fact that Füllkrug himself showed that he could be a very effective player for Dortmund and quickly made the starting position his own in the first season.

The departure of Haller would be one of mutual benefit for the club and player as his wages are quite high for his diminished involvement, and the player himself deserves to go somewhere where he can play regular football. The struggles Haller has gone through to return to the sport he loves took an exceptional amount of work and dedication, and that dedication should be rewarded with game-time, which at the current juncture in time looks unlikely at Dortmund.
