Livestream Bar April 25 Manchester City are currently trying to sign Dortmund's Haaland after failing to sign Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane last summer, and Liverpool star Souness said in a column in the Times that It was "wrong" for City to sign Glalish last summer instead of waiting for Harry Kane's decision.
Guardiola's side had lengthy negotiations last summer to sign Kane but failed to convince Tottenham president Levy, who is eager to move to Manchester City but the two clubs have been unable to agree on his transfer fee and he has three years left on his contract with Tottenham.
However, City ultimately opted to activate Villa captain Glalis's liquidated damages clause, signing him for £100 million. Guardiola regularly defends the £100 million player, while Glallis has scored five goals and assisted three times for City so far.
Soness believes City's signing of Glalish is wrong and questions the former Villa's organisational core has not brought the changes city deserves, believing Pep Guardiola's side will see the taillights from their opponents in the title race if Kane is in the squad.
Haaland has already made a name for himself with his outstanding performances at Borussia Dortmund and Red Bull Salzburg, with the 21-year-old Norwegian striker scoring a surprising 82 goals in 86 games for Borussia Dortmund. However, Sonnes questioned whether the Norwegian international could adapt to the intensity of the Premier League, writing in a Column in The Times:
"City got it wrong last summer and they should have prioritized Harry Kane over Glallish. You should be prepared to fulfill your number one need, a goalscorer who can score more than 20 goals every season. With Kane, City will now be in the Premier League title race to keep their opponents out of sight of the taillights. ”
Haaland is cheaper — he has a €75 million severance clause — and younger than Kane. No matter where he goes, I'd be surprised if no team has finalized him yet. But if it's Manchester City, can Haaland solve the problem in the Premier League, which is more demanding than the Bundesliga? ”
"I know Ibrahimovic's partnership with Guardiola at Barcelona hasn't been going well, but Haaland is a different player. He's a crazy old-school centre-forward who's very versatile in the game and is passionate about running without the ball, which is a dream for the people behind him (midfielders). ”
"Manchester City were wrong to sign Glalish from Aston Villa last summer. Investing £100 million in a place that doesn't need to be strengthened – they already have Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez and Foden – is a mistake. You can't say That Glarish has made a difference for City. ”
"If City ask for a player, Glalish's transfer fee also sets a precedent. If you're going to sell players, your asking price will always be higher than what you're estimating for players because you know clubs like Manchester City and Newcastle now have deep pockets. ”
