In England they give City an advantage in Operation Haaland

Manchester City may have gained an advantage in the race for Erling Haaland. As published by Daily Mailthe ‘citizen’ team would already have an agreement with the Norwegian footballer so that he joins his discipline from the summer. Sources close to the operation in Germany confirmed to said medium that they have successfully discussed the terms of the contract.

Always according to Mail, City must now decide whether to execute the 75 million euro clause that would allow him to leave Dortmund next summer, in addition to the substantial commission that Mino Raiola and the player’s father would take. It is possible that the final disbursement could exceed 120 million.

In the race for Haaland there are other big clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona or PSG, but from England it has always been considered that the ‘citizens’ had an emotional advantage due to the fact that the footballer’s father, Alfie, spent three years of his career at the club after leaving Leeds. Seeing his son at the Etihad would prolong that relationship with the family. However, sources close to the player tell AS that his preference is still to play for Real Madrid, as long as he is assured that his arrival will be in June 2022. He does not want to delay his continuity at Borussia Dortmund any longer.

Haaland’s name has sounded from the first moment for Guardiola’s City, which does not have a top-level center forward in the squad once Agüero left at the end of last year. In the meantime, the player is about to return to the pitch with Dortmund after an injury that has kept him out for a while.
