Erling Haaland's Man City transfer could have unexpected impact on Gabriel Jesus

It’s finally been confirmed that Manchester City have agreed on a deal to sign Erling Haaland.

Multiple reports began to surface at the start of the week indicating that City were ready to activate the striker's €75m release clause and the 21-year-old will now join Pep Guardiola’s squad this summer.

Haaland has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, helped by the fact he’s netted 85 goals in just 88 matches since joining Dortmund in January 2020. Over the last 12 months, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have all thought to have been interested in the Norwegian, though his preferred destination was City which was key to them winning the race to land his signature.
