Manchester City’s search for a leading striker is over.
Following a summer in which it was in the mix to sign Harry Kane and reportedly made a late play to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, Man City confirmed it has a deal in principal to sign 21-year-old Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer. A club on the cusp of winning the Premier League title for the fourth time in five seasons is about to add arguably the most sought-after player on the transfer market.
“Manchester City can confirm that we have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of striker Erling Haaland to the Club on 1st July 2022. The transfer remains subject to the Club finalizing terms with the player,” City wrote in a statement.
