The 2021/22 season isn’t even over yet and perhaps the biggest transfer of the summer is already on the verge of completion. Manchester City are close to sealing a deal to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.
Jurgen Klopp has already provided his view on this news. “If Erling Haaland goes there (City) that will not weaken them. Definitely not,” he said, adding: "I know in the moment that other people talk about money, but this transfer will set new levels. Let me say this!"
After City tried to sign Harry Kane last summer, the continuing story throughout this season has been that they need a centre-forward. Yet with three league games remaining they have scored 89 goals, a total only topped by Premier League teams at the end of a season eight times this century, and five of those by City themselves.
