Man City can give Joao Felix what he wants amid Atletico doubts but Erling Haaland query remains

Manchester City will look to sign an elite striker in the summer and that man is likely to be Erling Haaland. City look set to battle Real Madrid for the signature of the Borussia Dortmund forward but, according to some reports, the Spanish giants will pull out of the running.

If Pep Guardiola gets his man, then City's search for a successor to Sergio Aguero's throne will finally be over. However, even if they do sign Haaland, there is another young attacker who could make a rather nice addition to Guardiola's squad.

City know all about Joao Felix, having been keen on signing him in the summer of 2019. As it happened Atletico Madrid signed the Portuguese sensation from Benfica for £113m but things haven't exactly worked out as he or manager Diego Simeone would have hoped.
