Jans did not necessarily need a new striker, but made an exception for Haller. “There is actually only one striker that I thought was worth signing during the winter break,” said Jans. “And that didn’t seem to work, but it got to this point.” The rumors had been going around for a long time, but on Monday the transfer seemed to collapse. Tuesday evening everything suddenly changed. “That has everything to do with money and with Sébastien,” says Jans. “He only wanted to go to Utrecht. He wants to be a footballer again in an environment where he feels good and is appreciated.”
