No further details are given as to exactly when Haaland will be announced as a Manchester City, but a deal does seem to be very close to completion.
Haaland’s Dortmund stint
Should Haaland end up signing for Manchester City, which now seems very likley, the Sky Blues would no doubt go on to dominate most teams they face – including those sides they struggled to find that crucial goal against, such as Real Madrid in the Champions League when, despite scoring six over two legs, Man City missed countless chances.
In 88 outings across all competitions for the German side, Haaland has scored 85 and assisted 23. He has also netted 15 in 17 for Norway.
