According to international sports media, Manchester City has reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of bomber Erling Haaland to the Etihad next season. The English club has refused to comment on the latest news, but sources close to the "citizens" suggest that everything is ready and Haaland can be introduced as a City player, as early as next week.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl himself hinted that Haaland's departure could be formalized very soon, as the player communicated this fact to his teammates at the German team. Famous journalist Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the news, adding that intensive talks between City and Dortmund have been taking place for weeks now. At this point, the English club suffices to activate the clause for the termination of Haaland's current contract with Dortmund.
The "citizens" will pay the German club 63 million pounds for the services of the striker. This is a very affordable figure for City, but Haaland's real expenses will be linked to the Norwegian's salary. The 21-year-old is expected to earn around ,500,000 5 a week, on a XNUMX-year contract with the club. But these are still unconfirmed details, which may change.
Haaland has scored a total of 92 goals in 121 appearances with Molde, Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund, in the respective championships. Last year he became the youngest player to score 20 goals in a single Champions League season.
The Norwegian bomber will be exactly what Manchester City has been missing, who has been suffering for a long time for a real striker after the departure of Sergio Aguero to Barcelona. Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, will rely next season on Haaland's extraordinary abilities, to try once again in the Champions League, the major target of the "citizens".
