Politics Abramovich gives the green light for Haaland

Tribes have high hopes as Haaland confirmation hearing nears

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Deb Haaland stood with fellow tribal members protesting an oil pipeline outside a reservation in North Dakota, advocated for protecting cultural landmarks in her home state of New Mexico and pointedly told government witnesses in a hearing about blasting sacred Native American sites near the U.S.-Mexico border: “I don't know how you can sleep at night.” Native Americans have reason to believe the two-term U.S. congresswoman will push forward on long-simmering issues in Indian Country if she's confirmed as secretary of the Interior Department, which has broad oversight of tribal affairs and energy development.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has reportedly given his approval for the recruitment of Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland.

The famous German daily Bild reports that the boss of the English club, in this case Roman Abramovich, has promised to release the necessary funds to afford the Norwegian star. The record for the most expensive rookie in Chelsea history, held by Kai Havertz (€ 80m), could well fall a second time in the space of a year. Manchester City and Real want Haaland, too Obviously, Chelsea are not the only ones here. Other European tenors are studying the possibility of enlisting Haaland. In England, Manchester City are reportedly looking to make him the successor of Sergio Aguero, while in Spain Real Madrid are very motivated to rejuvenate their attacking sector with this great acquisition. The bidding could therefore skyrocket for the prolific BVB striker.
