Pep Guardiola may not be giving any indication one way or another, but the signs point to Manchester City becoming Erling Haaland’s next destination.
Multiple reports Tuesday suggest that City has a deal with Haaland, will pay Borussia Dortmund his €75 million release clause and any and all subsequent fees, commissions, bonuses and outlandish wages to land the 21-year-old Norwegian prodigy, who would more than fulfill the club’s glaring need at striker. For all City has accomplished this season and could yet accomplish—a Premier League and Champions League double remains within reach—it has done so without a leading No. 9. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and wingers Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez are the club’s leading scorers in Premier League play this season. Sergio Agüero’s departure and the failed summer pursuit of Harry Kane left City with limited options up top, and while it hasn’t been to the detriment of the club this season from a results standpoint, there’s no telling what adding a player like Haaland could do for the club’s attack.
