One of the realities of Manchester City becoming an ultra-successful football club is that, even in the days and weeks following a Premier League title win, there is always something to look ahead to and get excited about.
In this instance, that thing is Erling Braut Haaland. Earlier this month City ended year-long speculation about the striker's future by agreeing to sign him from Borussia Dortmund for £51m.
For two years now the Blues have been looking to sign an elite goal-scorer, but for one reason or another things didn't work out. In 2020 Lionel Messi looked poised to reunite with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium before deciding to stay at Barcelona.
