Erling Haaland’s move to Manchester City is set to be confirmed this week according to reports.

Haaland, 21, will move to the Etihad in the summer to link up with Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of the new season.

The prolific Norwegian hitman has scored 85 goals in 88 appearances since joining Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020, earning admiration from the biggest clubs in world football.

But City appear to have won the race for his signature, fending off the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Guardiola’s side have been keen to sign a striker since the departure of Sergio Aguero last summer and previously targeted Tottenham’s Harry Kane before a move fell through.

City are poised to win the Premier League title for the fourth time in five seasons, sitting top of the Premier League table with a three-point lead over Liverpool with three matches to play.

Kehl kündigt zeitnahe Entscheidungen bei Haaland und Adeyemi an

Bei Haaland stehen die Zeichen weiter auf Abschied. “Ich glaube, dass wir nächste Woche Klarheit haben werden”, sagte Kehl am Sonntag im “Sport1-Doppelpass”. “Es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn er am Ende weiterzieht.”

Das Thema habe sich wegen der Krankheit und des Tods von Haalands Berater Mino Raiola “ein bisschen verschleppt”, doch Fakt ist: Der 21-Jährige (Vertrag bis 2024) kann den BVB am Saisonende aufgrund einer Ausstiegsklausel für 75 Millionen Euro Ablöse verlassen. Als Favorit gilt weiter Manchester City.

Dafür stehen die Vorzeichen für einen Wechsel von Nationalspieler Karim Adeyemi (20) von RB Salzburg günstig. “Ich gehe davon aus, dass wir in dieser Woche mit Karim vorwärtskommen”, gab auch hier Kehl Einblick in die Planungen des BVB. Zuletzt hatte bereits Adeyemis Berater Thomas Solomon davon gesprochen, dass der Wechsel kurz vor dem Abschluss stehe.

Club chief confirms intent to beat Chelsea & Man United to Erling Haaland transfer

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has confirmed an interest in sealing the transfer of Borussia Dortmund goal machine Erling Haaland.

The prolific young Norway international looks one of the most exciting talents in world football at the moment after scoring 41 goals in 41 games for Dortmund last season, whilst getting this campaign off to a start with a hat-trick in his first appearance.

Haaland has attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Bayern seem to have confirmed they could also be in the running for his signature in the near future.

“This is a top player that the whole world probably wants,” Salihamidzic told German outlet SPORT 1. “Of course we look there.

“Otherwise we would be full amateurs.”

Haaland could be a dream long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski at the Allianz Arena, and of course the Poland international was also signed from Dortmund a few years back.

Bayern have often raided their rivals for some of their best players, with Mats Hummels and Mario Gotze also making the same move in recent times.

Haaland would be a dream signing for any Premier League club, but he’s obviously shining in the Bundesliga so may fancy staying there if Bayern make their move.
