Man City told that 'Mr Injury' Erling Haaland will be 'a bigger flop than Jack Grealish'

Manchester City have been warned by Borussia Dortmund's fans about Erling Haaland's injury-prone nature ahead of a potential summer move.

The Norwegian star is arguably the hottest property in football and City look to have stolen a march in the race to sign the forward. Pep Guardiola has operated without a recognised forward for almost two seasons with a false 9 system employed. City made moves to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham in the summer, but saw their bids knocked back.

Haaland now looks to be their focus with his £63m release clause at the Bundesliga side set to be triggered. A five-year deal worth around £500,000-a-week is thought to have been tabled. City spent big last summer, adding Jack Grealish for £100m - a new British record.
