Erling Haaland could be handed his dream shirt number when he arrives at Manchester City — but it would depend on the future of Gabriel Jesus.
City moved quick to pull off the deal of the transfer window before it had even opened by confirming they had agreed a deal with Borrusia Dortmund for the signing of Haaland. The Blues will pay a transfer fee of £51million but additional fees will take the whole package up to approximately £86million.
Haaland — who is currently continuing his fine scoring form while on international duty with Norway — has yet be officially unveiled as a City player with the move not happening until July 1. As a result, the scoring sensation is yet to be handed his shirt number for his new club.
