If I am not mistaken there were rumours that French NT tried to had Haak on NT. Would be more logical for Haak to play in another European country if she had the wish to play in a more established NT.
I think her Father is French, so that might have been an option. However France NT has been a non-factor like the Swedish is for years, it's only recently that they started to become better (but still far away from being a top or subtop team)
