Manchester City fans could barely contain their excitement as the club on Tuesday confirmed the signing of Erling Haaland.
After months of speculation, the Borussia Dortmund superstar now looks set to become a City player this summer, with an agreement reached in principle between the two clubs. The deal comes as a huge coup, with the Norwegian having attracted interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester United had all been linked with a move for the 21-year-old, with Real and City emerging as the frontrunners for his signature in recent months. It’s the Blues though that have won the race, with confirmation arriving on Tuesday by way of a club statement.
