Erling Haaland moving to Manchester City would 'irritate' a former Germany international as he suggested Pep Guardiola's ideal striker has not been born yet. Elite clubs across Europe are queuing up to sign the Borussia Dortmund sensation during the summer window, but City look to be favourites.
Having totted-up 80 goals in 82 games for Dortmund, Haaland will be available for around £64million this summer due to a release clause in his contract. City have identified him as a target and are understood to be frontrunners for a deal § but some concern remains as a result of the vast competition for his signature.
Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are among those also interested. As for Haaland, though, a move to the Etihad Stadium might not bring him the on-field guarantees he requires — according to former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel.
