Borussia Dortmund
In July 2008, he moved to Borussia Dortmund for a fixed transfer fee of €1.3m.[1]
His performance in Dortmund's 4–0 win against Frankfurt on 15 November 2008—scoring once and assists for three goals—earned him a place in the Bundesliga Team of the Week and made Hajnal Man of The Match. In the next round, Hajnal was again in the Team of the Week.[2] He played 30 matches and scored five goals during the 2008–09 Bundesliga season. In the 2009–10 Bundesliga season he played 21 matches. He was injured in 2010, therefore he could not play in the 2010–11 Bundesliga season for Borussia Dortmund.

Current manager of Ferencváros, Thomas Doll had been interested in signing Hajnal previously.[8] However, Hajnal was unaware that Ferencváros intended to sign him a couple of weeks before the offer was made.[9] When Hajnal was a free agent, he was training with Ferencváros. Therefore, it was obvious that he would join the club if he would return to Hungary.[10]
