After Aguero left, Manchester City has been looking for a new striker, previously Manchester City manager Guardiola has always hoped to get Tottenham striker Kane, but Spurs are not willing to sell Kane easily, and now Manchester City has changed its target, Manchester City began to pursue Dortmund's Norwegian striker Haaland, and Manchester City can now be said to be leading haaland's battle. I just don't know, once Manchester City really signs Haaland, then which Premier League team can compete with Manchester City next season?
Recently, the German authoritative media "Bild" reported that Manchester City is currently leading the battle for Haaland, Manchester City manager Guardiola is very optimistic about Haaland, and the Manchester City top brass also supports Guardiola's decision, while Haland's 75 million euros penalty clause is not much for Manchester City. In order to persuade Haaland to join, Manchester City is willing to offer an annual salary of 35 million euros for players, which is the top salary in the Premier League, second only to Ronaldo's salary. At present, the deal is very close.
If Manchester City signs Haaland, then the strength of the team will rise another notch. At the moment, City don't lack the ability to create opportunities, what they lack is a stable scorer. When City had Aguero, Aguero could score about 20 goals a season, and now there are no such players in Manchester City, and the current top scorer in the team is winger Sterling, who has scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season, followed by 8 goals by Mahrez, 7 goals by De Bruyne and Bernardo, 6 goals for Foden and 5 goals for Gundogan. It can be seen that Manchester City really need a goal scorer like Haaland, and once Manchester City gets such a striker, the team will score more goals and will become more terrible.
The current Manchester City, can be said to be the existence of the first gear of the Premier League, the current Premier League only Liverpool can compete with Manchester City, and if Manchester City signs Haaland, I am afraid that Liverpool will be difficult to compete with Manchester City. However, if Haaland is really given an annual salary of 35 million euros as reported by the media, then Manchester City's salary structure will be broken, and the team may face other problems. Of course, it is still only a rumor, the final result, let's wait and see!
