It’s finally been confirmed that Manchester City have agreed on a deal to sign Erling Haaland.

Multiple reports began to surface at the start of the week indicating that City were ready to activate the striker's €75m release clause and the 21-year-old will now join Pep Guardiola’s squad this summer.

Haaland has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, helped by the fact he’s netted 85 goals in just 88 matches since joining Dortmund in January 2020. Over the last 12 months, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have all thought to have been interested in the Norwegian, though his preferred destination was City which was key to them winning the race to land his signature.

It’s a move that represents somewhat of a coup for the champions who have lacked a natural number nine profile since Sergio Aguero’s departure last year.

With Haaland coming in, speculation is growing that City forward Gabriel Jesus could be heading the other way. It was hoped he’d become City's main man after Aguero’s departure, but instead, the 25-year-old has often been a peripheral figure this season.

He’s fought his way back into the team in more recent weeks, helped by scoring seven goals across his last eight matches, yet it seems this might not be enough for him to remain at the club, especially given there’s just one year left on his current deal and as of yet no extension has been offered.
