According to Football Insider, Manchester City is the team currently leading the race for Borussia Dortmund's bomber card, Erling Haaland. This is thanks to the connections that the player's father has with the English club. The Premier League leaders are looking for a striker to lead the offensive line, and after the failure of the move for Harry Kane, Haaland is already Pep Guardiola's number 1 priority.
A source close to the club has informed the English media that the Spanish coach is a big fan of the player, and the owners of the club from Abu Dhabi are totally in support of Pep for a possible move. Another very interesting piece of information is that Haaland's father, Alf Inge Haaland, is thought to be pushing his son to join the "citizens".
Haaland's father, now 49, played 3 seasons with Manchester City in the early 2000s. He is of the opinion that the English are the best option for the talented Dortmund striker. At the Etihad they are getting ready for a deal and in this part things have to be thought through carefully as the competition for Haaland will be quite fierce.
At the end of the season, the footballer will be available for the value of 68 million pounds, which is the figure for the termination of the contract set by the Germans of Dortmund. Although the figure is high, it does not compare to the clauses of Neymar, Messi or Ronaldo who have passed this figure in the past. It was Manchester City themselves who paid plot 100 million for Jack Grealish in the summer, milionë 30 million more than the price of Haaland's card. However, competition from other teams in Europe could increase the value that Dortmund can gain from its sale.
As for City, the English are in all likelihood ready to pay any amount, given that they benefited 55 XNUMX million from the sale of Ferran Torres to Barcelona.
