Pundit and renowned football commentators in the international scene has the confirmed signing of Erling Haaland. The 21-year-old is set to join Manchester City after his release clause was activated for a measly €60 million. Manchester City, of course, haven't had a world-class, striker since Sergio Aguero left in 2021 and the Citizens are looking to bolster their squad with some attacking firepower to hopefully win them their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy.
Erling Haaland was born in Leeds and his dad played for Man City during his own career. It’s hard to predict a young player coming to arguably the best league in the world and immediately making a huge impact, but Haaland is capable of just that. He just scored 85 goals in 88 appearances for Dortmund and never showed any signs of slowing down. Sure, he dealt with a few different injuries, but when healthy, the Norway international was nothing short of spectacular for the Bundesliga outfit.
After months of speculation, it’s finally happening. Borussia Dortmund talisman Erling Haaland will join Man City this summer, with the announcement expected this week. The Norwegian had been heavily recruited by other European giants as well, most notably Real Madrid, but Haaland has decided to take his talents to the Premier League. The English giants made the final last year and lost to Chelsea, then were on the brink of heading to the showpiece again Recently until Real Madrid completed a shocking comeback and eliminated the favorites.
Putting Erling Haaland in a team like City is absolutely frightening. We’re talking about one of the best strikers on the planet having countless players looking to get him involved as much as possible. It’s a match made in heaven.
Haaland will make this club better in a variety of ways but more importantly, he is the missing piece to the Citizens finally lifting the most prestigious piece of hardware in club football.
Do you think Haaland can win the champions league trophy for Manchester city?
