Manchester City has taken a big step towards the transfer of bomber Erling Haaland to the Etihad. According to reports Dailymail, it is learned that the leaders of the English club have agreed to the demands of the Norwegian representatives. If all goes according to plan, the agreement between the two parties is expected to be sealed within the next week.
The English media have reported that the "citizens" have agreed to offer Haaland a salary of 500,000 pounds per week, a figure that would make him the highest paid player in Premier League. The contract is expected to be 5 years as City will pay a minimum of milionë 63 million to activate the Haaland's departure clause from Dortmund.
Last week the Germans insisted that there was still no agreement between City and Dortmund on Haalad's services, and that the club was looking at other options in parallel. This was about Real Madrid and PSG. But now it seems that Pep Guardiola has managed to realize his dream of bringing the striker to Manchester. The Spanish coach failed to bring Harry Kane to the team during the summer transfer window last year, despite the unusual insistence of City executives.
It is learned that Haaland's father, who as a former footballer has been active with the "citizens", has been intensively involved in the negotiations with the English club. If the deal becomes formal in the summer, Haaland could make his debut with City in America. This after Pep's trustees will play 2 friendlies on the American continent during the summer.
The Norwegian striker scored 2 goals in Dortmund's deep 6-1 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday. During this season Haaland has scored a total of 33 goals in 31 meetings with Dortmund and the Norwegian national team. The player managed to get back to his best form very quickly, after a delicate injury.
