His own family spokesperson has said that the striker has said no to the latest offers from Real Madrid and Bayern and will go in search of the Champions League with Guardiola.
Erling Haaland has picked the spring daisy and is set to become the battering ram that Pep Guardiola wants to attempt the final assault on the Champions League in his sixth season at the helm of Manchester City. This has been confirmed by the family’s own spokesperson, Jan Aage Fjortoft, after negotiations between the Norwegian player and the English club came to fruition and informed the footballer’s own environment of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich last week of the announcement. his decision. Even the still Borussia Dortmund striker has passed the medical examination with the ‘sky blues’ at a clinic in Brussels.
City, recently knocked out by Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the continental competition, perhaps due to the lack of a ‘killer’, is thus winning the battle to hire the striker from other major European clubs. In addition to the white club and the Bavarian team, Barcelona and PSG also wanted to bolster their attack with a 21-year-old striker who has scored 61 goals in 66 Bundesliga games since signing for Dortmund in early 2020. No. It’s official, but City will pay the 75 million set out in a release clause and will pay Haaland about a million euros net per month.
Events accelerated this Monday due to various information in German media hastening the end of the soap opera. ‘Sky Germany’, the television channel that owns the audiovisual rights to the German championship, expected that the player had already transferred his wish to leave to the Ruhr account club and that Manchester City had also contacted Dortmund to pay the stipulated amount and the transfer. Bild newspaper and Kicker magazine, citing unnamed sources, also emphasized that the deal would become official in the coming days, most likely once the Premier League title between City and Liverpool is decided.
Dortmund is interested in Salzburg striker Karim Adeyemi as a possible replacement for Haaland. Dortmund’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl has not officially said anything yet, but he already anticipated on Sunday that the yellow club wanted clarity about the Haaland case this week.
After many months of rumours and negotiations, winks and wrangling, Haaland has opted for the multimillion-dollar bid from City, a club in which the Nordic attacker’s father came to play and who need a ‘9’ because with the battering rams used by Guardiola, liars have still left him. failed to win the Champions League. However, the Norwegian does not respond to the attacker profile that the Sampedor coach likes. Barca coach Xavi Hernandez met Haaland and his entourage weeks ago but, plagued by their economic crisis and the salary cap, the Catalans quickly assumed they could not meet the player’s financial demands.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez also dreamed of signing Haaland and Kylian Mbappe that same summer, but he too has failed to compete with City’s petrodollars. According to some reports, the late Mino Raiola, Haaland’s agent, asked for a $150 million escape clause in his second year, allowing for a possible exit, which Florentino flatly refused.
Haaland’s no to Real Madrid is in theory another step for hiring Mbappe, just this Monday on a trip to Madrid. According to Cope, the striker ate in a restaurant in the Spanish capital with his partner Achraf Hakimi, the brother of the Moroccan defender who was trained in the Real Madrid youth academy, and two other people. Coincidentally, Mbappé and Achraf enjoy the three days off that coach Mauricio Pochettino granted the PSG team.
Likewise, Mbappé’s visit to Madrid coincides with PSG chairman Nasser Al Khelaïfi’s trip to the Spanish capital. The top leader of the Paris club also had a trip to the city on his agenda to attend an ECA event at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, the European association of clubs chaired by the Qatari businessman, who is held at the Wanda Metropolitano.
French media anticipated days ago that the player’s entourage planned to travel to Madrid this week to negotiate with the Spanish champions. Last Thursday, the footballer’s mother, Fayza Lamari, was forced to deny information assuring that an agreement had been reached between PSG and the player on the extension of his contract. At Real Madrid they insist on being very calm.
