Paco Alcacer on Thursday became the victim of Erling Braut Haaland’s spectacular start at Borussia Dortmund as the Spain striker left to join Villarreal, the German club confirmed.
The 26-year-old Alcacer reportedly cost the Spanish league side 30 million euros ($33 million), including bonus payments, after signing a deal until 2025 to return to Spain after only 18 months in Germany.
“We would like to thank Paco Alcacer for his performance in the Dortmund jersey and wish him good health and maximum sporting success in the future,” said Dortmund’s sports director Michael Zorc.
The injury-prone striker joined Dortmund on loan from Barcelona in August 2018 and made a flying start with seven goals in his first four games.
His transfer was made permanent last February when the German club paid 23 million euros for him, but his form has since dipped sharply and he has been blighted by injury.
