Pep Guardiola virtually confirmed that a Manchester City deal for Erling Haaland is done — by saying he is not allowed to speak about it. City are expected to announce the £64million arrival of the Borussia Dortmund hitman in the next few days, but there are still contractual details to be ironed out.
Haaland wants to announce his departure from the Bundesliga outfit ahead of their final game of the season against Hertha Berlin on Sunday, so he can say a proper farewell to the "Yellow Wall" of supporters who have taken him to their hearts. But the deal is done, and he is understood to have passed a medical at a Brussels hospital yesterday.
Guardiola faced the media ahead of tomorrow night's crunch Premier League game at Wolves, and he made it plain that the only thing holding him back from talking about Haaland's imminent arrival was some legal detail.
