Erling Haaland has taken an important step in his career by signing for the Manchester CityThe Nordic scorer had already outgrown a Borussia Dortmund with which he has barely managed to win a title, despite the fact that on an individual level he has been immeasurable, averaging almost a goal per game. After signing for the Germans for 18 million euros, the yellows have done a good deal selling the striker for 60 million, as established in his exit clause.
At just 21 years old, Haaland has signed His new contract lasts for five seasons, although the player himself keeps an option to leave it at the end of the second season. Despite the absence of termination clauses in England, the striker has negotiated to add one that stipulates that in 2024 he can leave City after a cash payment of 150 million euros.
Everything indicates that at that time, already mature at 23 years old, it could be time to take the next step and that would be none other than signing for a bigger club like Real Madrid. The Nordic, with this movement, he is also giving Barcelona time to recover economically from the crisis which it has inherited from the management of Josep María Bartomeu. Haaland has been very smart signing a contract that can cause a new bid for him in just two seasons.
The player can shine at City, but it is no less true than Pep Guardiola did not know how to get the most out of it to the great strikers as shown by the case of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whom he signed for a millionaire at Barça. The Catalan technician he is quite peculiar with center forwards and proof of this is that he usually uses false ‘9‘ More than pure battering rams as the Gabriel Jesus case demonstrates.
We will see what will happen with a Haaland who is going to multiply his emoluments by four compared to Dortmund. It is a win-win move for the player unless a serious injury befalls him. In this aspect we must not neglect the good Erling, who has been out for 135 days in a stay of just a season and a half at Dortmund. Guardiola has his toy insured for two seasons, then time will tell us what he wants to do with his career.
