The long-awaited and Europe-wide football transfer driver made its decision on Tuesday after the Norwegian sensation Erling Braut Haalandin the future employer was strengthened by an agreement between the English Premier League Manchester City and the German club Borussia Dortmund in Holland.
Forward Haaland, 21, will move to the City on July 1st. According to City, the club is still finalizing the terms of the contract with the player. According to British media, Haaland will pay the City EUR 60 million, the buyout price of the young man in the Dortmund agreement. According to some media reports, the agreement is for five years.
Haaland has been a player chased by the big clubs in recent years, as his goal in the Bundesliga in Dortmund has been fierce. In just over two years, the young top scorer has scored 61 goals in 66 leagues and a total of 85 hits in 88 matches, including all competitions.
Even in the Champions League, Haaland’s pace has been quite incomprehensible: he is the most effective scorer of the competition ever, recording a hit every 64 minutes of play. For example Lionel at the Mess the goal in the Champions League has required 104 minutes of play.
City has long sought out a clean top man after the club’s record gun Sergio Agüero ended his career due to heart problems in December Harry Kanea, but the transfer failed last summer. This season, City has often played without a real top man, but the team has still scored the most goals in the Premier League (89 goals in 35 matches).
Goals and success in the euro area?
City is close to its fourth championship championship in five seasons, but in the Champions League the title remained a dream this year as well. Haaland may be a missing piece about it. Coach of Liverpool, who are struggling for a title in the Premier League with at least City Jürgen Klopp know what the City is getting.
– I made a new deal (with Liverpool) knowing that the City will not stop developing. If Erling Haaland goes there, he won’t weaken them, certainly not. I would say that that move brings new dimensions, Klopp pondered before the Haaland deal was confirmed.
Father of Haaland Alf-Inge is a former City player (from 2000-03).
