Erling Haaland: Man City's potential line up with Dortmund star

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City have agreed a £500,000 per week deal to sign Erling Haaland in the summer.

The Citizens will have to pay £63 million to trigger the release clause in Haaland’s contract at Borussia Dortmund, but it seems like a deal has been agreed in principle and the Norwegian superstar will be operating as part of Pep Guardiola’s team next season.

Now just imagine what they could do with a lethal attacking force like Haaland up-front, a man that this season holds a record of 25 goals in 26 matches for Dortmund.

Well, actually, that’s precisely what we are going to do…

Check out how we think Guardiola should be looking to line-up his team of superstars next season should the Haaland deal go through:

GK- Ederson

RB- Kyle Walker

CB- Ruben Dias

ST- Erling Haaland

LW- Phil Foden

Ederson was the obvious pick in goal, after the antics of Zack Steffen in the FA Cup semi-final we can’t envisage him getting a run out again anytime soon.

Across the backline we’ve opted for the tried and trusted centre-back partnership of Dias and Laporte, whilst John
