Although Manchester City has not yet released the news of cutting down trees, from the news that has flowed out so far, Haaland joining Manchester City is already a sure thing, in the words of the movie: This time Jesus can't stop it!
The sources of this early cut-down tree came from three sources: transfer expert Di Marzio, on the other hand, haaland's agent's agent, and third, Dortmund itself. Let's take a look at why this transfer is already a nail in the coffin, and it is still the kind of tree cut in advance.
According to Di Marzio, Manchester City has informed the Dortmund top management that the opposing Blue Moon Army will officially activate the Penalty for the Norwegian Striker this summer, and the two sides have reached a transfer agreement. It is reported that Haaland, who is currently worth up to 150 million euros, will reduce the liquidated damages to 75 million euros this summer, which is the regulation set by the player when he signed with Dortmund that year, which shows that the player has the idea of leaving when he joins.
In addition to the €75 million penalty, the player will sign a five-year contract with Manchester City, and the player's annual salary is 30 million euros after tax, which will become the top salary in the Manchester City team.
The source, on the other hand, is the broker of a substitute from Haaland. Although Haaland has not left yet, Dortmund's every move has told the world that Haaland will leave, and we have found a new replacement, that is, the new star Adeymi from Red Bull Salzburg, the player agent has made it public that the player has chosen the Hornets, and it is only officially announced.
However, the most important news still comes from the most official player owner Dortmund. Today, Dortmund issued an official announcement: Haaland was allowed not to attend the day's training due to his need to deal with personal matters.
This short sentence, although like a routine document, fans familiar with the terminology of football should know that this is the regular term for players leaving the team to deal with personal transfer matters, and it is needless to say which team the player joins, because there is no second team in the transfer market that can compete with Manchester City, whether it is competitiveness or economic strength.
Although in the previous pre-match press conference, Barcelona coach Xavi bluntly said that the main economic factor for Haaland to join Manchester City, it is undeniable that norwegian geniuses chose to join Manchester City, both the impact of economic factors and competitive factors that affect the final decision of this player. On the one hand, clubs in Europe that can pay players' salaries, signing fees and transfer fees can be counted on one hand, and Barca has been excluded; on the other hand, at the competitive level, there are not many clubs in Europe that can match Manchester City, and Barça is not even on this hand. So whatever the reason Haaland chose to join Manchester City, it has nothing to do with Barca, but it is closely related to both factors.
