Berlin (AP) – Borussia Dortmund’s young star Erling Haaland is to switch to English soccer champions Manchester City after the end of the Bundesliga season, according to information from the “Bild” newspaper.
Coach Pep Guardiola wants to set new stimuli in the squad and is therefore planning with the 21-year-old Norwegian. However, Haaland’s advisor Mino Raiola and his father Alf-Inge Haaland would still have to scale back their financial demands significantly. Man City are currently leaders in the Premier League. The club is in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The Norwegian international can leave BVB after this season thanks to a €75m release clause. Haarland have been linked with various top clubs for months. Real Madrid are also said to be interested. According to the American TV broadcaster ESPN, he has now canceled Manchester United. Haaland’s contract in Dortmund actually runs until the summer of 2024.
