Former Pep Guardiola protege sends Man City transfer message with Erling Haaland claim

Manchester City are widely believed to be leading the race to sign Erling Haaland in the summer, although one former Pep Guardiola player has offered a warning ahead of any potential deal.

City are believed to be fighting Real Madrid for the 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker, but reports over the past month suggested that City will activate the £65m release clause in the player's contract and would be prepared to pay him £500,000 per week.

Haaland - who has scored a remarkable 80 goals in 84 appearances for Dortmund - is a generational talent, his brilliance recognised by him winning the 2020 Golden Boy award. As such there are other clubs interested in signing him, with one of those being Barcelona.
