The dust is about to settle on the world football super transfer, the latest news from the Daily Mail: Haaland has reached an agreement with Manchester City, and if nothing else, next week or in the next few weeks, the two sides will sign a 5-year super contract. Once the contract is signed, Haaland will surpass superstars such as Ronaldo and De Bruyne to become the highest-paid player in the Premier League and become the new brother of the Premier League.
Haaland is the premier striker in world football today, and he maintains a very high goal rate in the Australian Premier League, the Bundesliga and the Norwegian national team. In the 2019-2020 season, when playing for Red Bull Salzburg in the Australian Premier League, the 19-year-old made 14 appearances in the league, scoring 16 goals and scoring 4 assists. In the same year, he joined Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, making 15 league appearances for the team, scoring 13 goals and assisting 2 times. In the 2020-2021 season, he scored 27 goals in 28 bundesliga appearances and pocketed six assists. This season, in the 2021-2022 season, Haaland made 20 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring 18 goals and seven assists.
Putting aside the professional league and returning to the national team level, Haaland is still very strong. In 2019, he scored 9 goals in 3 appearances at the World Youth Championship. In 2020, the UEFA Nations League made 4 appearances and scored 6 goals. In 2022, he scored five goals in 6 appearances in the European Preliminaries. We can clearly see from Haaland's goalscoring data in the league and national team in recent years, and he can almost average 1 goal per game, which is a terrible efficiency.
Therefore, at the age of 21, he has become a delicious food in the transfer market. World-class giants including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barca and Bayern are eyeing it. In order to get this future Golden Globe Awards hot person, the major giants are also angry and heavy money. Now it seems that Manchester City has basically laughed to the end. According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City will pay Haaland a weekly salary of £500,000 (around €32 million a year) and pay him £63 million in liquidated damages. Then, the two sides signed a contract for 5 years.
Fans who follow the Premier League know that the current Manchester City squad is almost perfect. This season, 31 games have delivered 23 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses with 74 points, ranking first in the Premier League table. However, Manchester City, which is almost perfect, has not scored the most goals in the Premier League this season. The team's world number one midfielder De Bruyne, but his inability to dominate the Premier League in terms of goals scored, shows that Guardiola desperately needs a strong striker, and Haaland is undoubtedly the one guardiola desperately needs.
With Haaland, a goal-scoring maniac, plus de Bruyne, the world's number one super league, City's attack is truly picturesque. At that time, I am afraid that the whole European football world will tremble for it. Joining Manchester City, with de Bruyne's help, is also expected to accelerate the impact of the Ballon d'Or for Harrard personally.
