Pour s’attacher les services du prodige de 21 ans, Manchester City, selon plusieurs médias, notamment le Daily Mail, lui aurait offert un salaire de 500 000 livres sterling par semaine (584 000 €), soit 26 millions de livres par saison (30,4 M€). Un record en Premier League. Au cours de l’actuel exercice 2021-2022, Haaland a inscrit 28 buts en 29 matchs officiels (21 en Bundesliga, 3 en Ligue des champions, 4 en Coupe d’Allemagne). Il lui reste encore une rencontre à jouer, samedi 14 mai, face au Hertha Berlin, 34e et dernière journée du championnat d’Allemagne. Erling Haaland devrait s’engager cette semaine à Manchester City, selon le site The Athletic , qui précise ce lundi que l’attaquant norvégien du Borussia Dortmund s’est mis d’accord en avril avec le manager Pep Guardiola et les dirigeants du club anglais.

Manchester City, Erling Haaland and more pressing personnel ... (The Guardian)

Watching Manchester City spank their 21st goal in five top-flight games past Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, The Fiver couldn't shake off the nagging feeling ...

“I want to win, fiercely, and that is no different tomorrow.” He also took a pop at the global population at large for wanting Liverpool rather than his side to win shiny pots, in a slightly paranoid fit of pique that will have come as a surprise to the many Liverpool fans out there who firmly believe it is, in fact, their club that is universally unpopular. Barney Weston’s article on football doing more to tackle the climate crisis (Friday’s Still Want More?) failed to mention what the FA and EFL could do. I always said: ‘Come play for this football club, you’ll win trophies here.’ I can sit here confident knowing we both made the right decision.” Maybe they have more supporters all around the world and in England maybe more support Liverpool than us.” While that may be technically true, given Liverpool’s storied history, the fact of the matter is that most fans don’t give a hoot which pots either club wins, not least when there’s far more pressing League One playoff semi-final action to fret over. Get your ears around the latest Football Weekly. And while we’re at it, Max, Barry and the pod squad are going back out on tour. “Sure, Elis James boots a ball at a child, everyone laughs. Should the deal go through, it will mark a poignant return to the north-west for a young man whose father Alfie famously made his name with City during the club’s church-mouse years, on the back of some extremely ill-advised goading of Roy Keane. Watching Manchester City spank their 21st goal in five top-flight games past Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, The Fiver couldn’t shake off the nagging feeling that what the table-toppers are really crying out for is a top-class centre forward. We have problems and that’s all.” “The people want Liverpool to win more than us – it’s not an issue,” he cooed, making it an issue. We have the academy.

Haaland opted for the Manchester City project after a long time of reflection that included his super agent Mino Raiola, who died on April 30, but was part of the process until the very end. He joins a team in Pep Guardiola's that are looking to get over the hump in the Champions League after falling short time after time. Haaland completed the medical with City on Monday and will be announced this week as a new Citizens player, filling a void at striker that has plagued the club over the past few seasons. Haaland's father, Alf-inge Haaland, was playing for Leeds at the time and later moved to Man City. In 199 professional club games he has scored 154 times. The rich just get richer.

Haaland's Summer Transfer to Man City Expected to Be Announced ... (Sports Illustrated)

The 21-year-old Dortmund striker's €75 million release clause and immense talent have made him one of the summer's biggest transfer targets.

According to the BBC, Man City does not yet want to confirm the deal, although “virtually all parts” of the transfer have reportedly been agreed upon. Earlier this year, The Times reported that Haaland’s representatives held talks with City over a wage package worth more than £500,000-a-week. Per Ornstein, an official announcement on the move is expected this week once City formally gives notice to Borussia Dortmund that it will trigger the forward’s €75 million ($79.2 million) release clause.

Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano informed BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke last week City are ready to activate the striker's €75m release clause.

The 75m euro fee - which equates to £62m - for Haaland is widely considered to be below market value. I think there's enough spoken about this transfer. In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News, he said: "I signed a new contract knowing that City would not stop developing. "If Erling Haaland goes there, it will not weaken them, definitely not. The release clause on his contract is €75m. It's possible obviously and we can do that.

McConnell further reported that Haaland was about to put pen to paper on one of the most lucrative deals with his new club. Under Bayern Munich’s dominance in league play, Haaland managed to win the German Cup in 2020-21 and was named striker of the year on two occasions (2020-21, 2021-22). Born in Leeds, England, Erling’s father, Alf-Inge Haaland, suited up for Manchester City from 2000 to 2003.

Erling Haaland and Manchester City Near a Deal (The New York Times)

City, which is nearing its fourth Premier League title in five years, would be strengthened further by adding Haaland, the 21-year-old Dortmund striker.

Alfie Haaland signed with City in June 2000, only weeks before Erling was born, but retired in 2003 after several injury-marred seasons in Manchester and one infamous foul at the hands of Manchester United’s Roy Keane. But the numbers most likely put Haaland out of reach of other teams, including Barcelona, which is mired in a financial crisis that led it to lose Lionel Messi for free last summer, and Bayern Munich, whose sporting director said recently that adding Haaland “ doesn’t make any sense” for the perennial German champions since the team already employs a world-class striker in Robert Lewandowski. City and its rivals were facing a June deadline to activate the release clause in Haaland’s Dortmund contract — said to be worth as much as 75 million euros, or just under $80 million.

Guardiola’s desire to also acquire Jack Grealish, who cost City a British‑record £100m when he joined from Aston Villa last summer, made the transfer of Kane impossible. However, he already has 181 senior games at the age of 21 and City are confident he will be a success. The deal is expected to be announced imminently by the German club, Haaland having informed them of his wish to leave after two-and-a-half years in Germany. Personal terms between the player and City have been agreed.

Why is Erling Haaland joining Manchester City? Reasons Dortmund ... (Sporting News)

With reports that Erling Haaland to Man City is a "done deal" here's why he joined the Manchester club, how he'll fit in, and what his future prospects are ...

Man City are one of the most possession-oriented teams in the entire world, and to a lesser extent that tracks with Dortmund's style as well. His touch efficiency is also far better than anyone else currently at City. In his 23 Bundesliga appearances this season, Haaland produced 65 non-blocked shots on 150 touches in the opposition penalty area, a whopping 43 percent shot to touch rate. Meanwhile, Man City's four-player combination that were most utilized in a purely attacking role — Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, and Phil Foden — collected 601 touches in the opposition penalty area, producing 165 non-blocked shots, a 27 percent rate. Haaland's arrival will require a reversion back to the setup with Aguero in the team, which could cause some tactical upheaval within Guardiola's plans. If the young Norwegian hopes to reach the levels of brand names like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, this is a critical component of his next destination. At Man City, Haaland will get the global exposure he needs to become one of the world's most recognized players. With Borussia Dortmund, Haaland failed to advance past the quarterfinals in any of his three seasons. While Man City's 13.8 percent goal conversion rate this season is tops in the Premier League, it's a far cry from Dortmund's 19 percent, fueled by Haaland's finishing. Most of the reports are referring to the move as a "done deal." This allowed Haaland and his agents possessed all the leverage in negotiations for personal terms. He left to play three more seasons in his native Norway before retirement, but a connection to Manchester was clearly well-established. Sky Germany reports that the release clause stipulates the transfer fee must be paid in one lump sum installment.

Alors qu'Erling Haaland semble sur le point de rejoindre Manchester City, ce transfert serait une double mauvaise nouvelle pour le FC Barcelone.

Et comme l’indique AS , ce transfert pourrait entraîner une autre conséquence fâcheuse pour le Barça. Car le club désire fortement recruter un avant-centre de prestige cet été et, outre Haaland, il cible Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich). Mais l’équipe bavaroise tient peu à lâcher son attaquant, sous contrat jusqu’en 2023. Mais elles ne sont pas allées au bout, Xavi le reconnaissant même ce lundi 9 mai en conférence de presse : « Je ne dirais pas que seul notre projet est bon, je ne vais pas manquer de respect aux autres projets.

Erling Haaland is reportedly on the verge of signing for Manchester City. Almost 22 years ago, his father Alf-Inge Haaland did exactly the same thing.

Their captain was sidelined for that match and was at the beginning of the end of his playing days. A subplot to the crosstown hostilities was the history between Haaland and his opposite number, United captain Roy Keane. Well, I never played a full game again, did I? It seems like a great coincidence, don't you think?" In their penultimate game of the season, a 2-1 defeat at Ipswich Town meant City were relegated. The ball was there (I think). [I said]: 'Don't ever stand over me again sneering about fake injuries.'" "He was winding me up from the beginning of the game," Keane wrote in his 2002 autobiography. "Did that tackle end my career? Such up-and-down form typified a team trying to catch up with its own achievements over the previous two years. Having come through the ranks at hometown club Bryne, where Erling would also take his first steps in the game, Alfie joined Nottingham Forest in December 1993. "I'd waited long enough," Keane wrote. "Five minutes from time... A new challenge was needed.

La presse britannique est unanime, Erling Haaland va rejoindre Manchester City alors que les leaders de Premier League ont décidé de lever l'option d'achat.

Pour mettre fin à 11 ans d'insuccès en C1, le Catalan veut augmenter son taux de conversion d'occasions franches et il sait que son équipe peut gaver son nouvel avant-centre de munitions. En est-il capable ? Comment Haaland va-t-il s'adapter à son nouveau coach et comment le 'guardiolisme' va-t-il s'adapter à Haaland ? Onze ans après avoir réinventé le foot sans avant-centre, voilà Guardiola contraint de réinventer son football avec le grand avant-centre de demain. Et il faut se souvenir que, sans l'intransigeance de Tottenham l'été dernier, Harry Kane aurait dû rejoindre City. Voilà plusieurs mois que le cerveau des Cityzens a remarqué l'incapacité des siens à terminer le travail dans les moments les plus importants de la saison. La défaite ne le fera pas dévier. Il suffit d'observer la construction de l'effectif de City aujourd'hui. Le départ de Sergio Agüero l'été dernier n'a pas été comblé et Manchester n'a plus qu'un attaquant axial, Gabriel Jesus qui n'est, en plus, pas vraiment l'archétype de l'attaquant de surface. Le but : "Essayer de contrôler le milieu et exploiter l'espace", explique le boss qui délivre alors son mantra en conférence de presse après le sacre.
