Hauge thinks with Bakke commanding a high wage and with his injury problems this season, any interested club may hesitate.
Bakke has been restricted to just a handful of appearances this term due to injury.
"Eirik Bakke's got a relatively high wage and only one year remaining on his contract," explained Hauge to VG. "At the same time he has been quite a lot injured this season. I think it will be hard for Leeds to sell Eirik."
