Originally the Premier League title race was very severe, and now with Liverpool drawing 1-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur, the point gap with Manchester City has widened by 3 points, and Liverpool currently has less goal difference than Manchester City, so Liverpool basically lost the opportunity to compete for the title, and Manchester City is about to defend the title. Being able to defend the title successfully is a thing for Manchester City to celebrate, and the previous Champions League out of the shackles can also be vented.
In addition to being able to defend the title, Manchester City also has another good news, that is, Haaland is about to join Manchester City. According to the media "Sky Sports", Haaland's transfer to Manchester City is about to be completed, and Manchester City will trigger Haaland's termination pension clause to pay 75 million euros to Dortmund, and the deal will be officially announced within this week. Well-known transfer journalist Romano also confirmed the news of Sky Sports, and it seems that Haaland's joining Manchester City will soon become a fact.
Transfer expert Skira is even more exposed, as early as the beginning of April this year, Manchester City and Haaland reached a franchise agreement, the two sides will sign a 5-year contract, Manchester City to Haaland to provide Haaland with an annual salary of 30 million euros after tax. Haaland's joining Manchester City is enough to make Guardio laugh, because finally there is a center forward, with a season of no front, Guardiola is somewhat depressed in his heart, the Champions League out of fact has a lot to do with Manchester City's lack of a good striker.
City have been pursuing Kane last summer, but due to Levy's strong obstruction, City ultimately failed to get Kane. After Aguero left, there was a big influence on Guardiola's tactics, and now Guardiola has finally got a striker who is more efficient than Kane, and naturally he is very happy. Haaland is about to join, which is good news for Manchester City, but Manchester City also has bad news, that is, another player that Manchester City is preparing to bring in has turned down Manchester City's invitation.
With City's core veteran Fernandinho leaving this summer, City had intended to bring in French midfielder Pogba, who became a free agent this summer, to replace Fernandinho, but now Pogba has refused. According to the media The Athletic, Manchester City offered Pogba a lucrative offer, but Pogba still rejected Manchester City after careful consideration, pogba has asked his agent to tell Manchester City that he will join another club.
Pogba's refusal is not good news for Manchester City, the lack of a striker this season, which has just solved the problem of the striker, and then encountered the problem of midfield, Fernandinho is still very important in Guardiola's tactical system, once he leaves, no one to make up, Guardiola will have to change his tactical system. Haaland joined and Pogba refused, and Manchester City was really a mix of sad and happy.
So where will Pogba go? Before Manchester City, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid were interested in Pogba, and Juventus' interest in Pogba was weakened by their inability to meet Pogba's salary requirements. The remaining Paris and Real Madrid, Pogba will choose where, the probability will look at Mbappe's choice, if Mbappe chooses to join Real Madrid, Pogba will join Real Madrid, if Mbappe stays in Paris, Pogba will join Paris, Pogba is still very optimistic about this he is a French fellow.
