Man City agree personal terms to sign £135m-rated "cyborg", supporters will be buzzing – opinion

Manchester City have agreed terms with Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland ahead of a summer move.

According to The Guardian, Man City have agreed terms with Haaland’s representatives and are ready to trigger the £63m release clause in his contract ahead of next season.

It’s also claimed that the future of manager Pep Guardiola whose contract expires in 2023 is irrelevant and that the player is ‘expected’ to sign for City either way.

The report also states that Haaland considered City’s offer the best out of all he received and that Puma, who are the club’s shirt manufacturer, look likely to become the player’s sponsor so are also pushing for him to move to the Premier League holders.

Supporters will still be rueing their missed opportunity at securing a second Champions League final appearance in as many years this week. The Citizens crashed out of the competition after losing in the semi-final 6-5 on aggregate against veterans of the tournament Real Madrid.

Goals are never a problem for Pep Guardiola’s side, they currently sit second for most goals scored in the Premier League this season behind only rivals Liverpool.

However, last summer they were constantly linked with a striker to replace the outgoing Sergio Aguero. They were linked with Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane, and were even reportedly close to signing Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo before he made his sensational return to Old Trafford.

In the end, nobody arrived to occupy that position, and ever since all eyes seem to have been firmly set on Haaland. The Norwegian has scored 21 goals in 23 Bundesliga appearances this season and is considered one of the best young players in the world.
