It seems bizarre that while Manchester City have landed their No 1 target in Erling Haaland fans are still waiting to see him in a sky blue shirt.
But it appears that the future of Gabriel Jesus rather than waiting for the transfer window to officially open is the reason City are holding off. If Jesus moves as seems likely with Arsenal still the most likely destination, Haaland will takes his No 9 shirt – a number he has worn for two season at Borussia Dortmund.
Until agreement is reached that number is not officially available. City have gained a superstar striker but could they be set to lose a fan favourite and could that help United bag their main summer target? Mirror Sports rounds up all the latest transfer news and rumours.
