Manchester City have confirmed an agreement to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland for £51.1m.
City have paid the 21-year-old’s release clause and expect to pay £85.5m in total when agent fees, signing bonus and other costs are taken in to account.
Haaland will join City on July 1st, subject to the club finalising terms with the player.
Sky Sports News reported that the 21-year-old completed his medical on Monday at Hospital Erasme in Brussels.
Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano informed Dortmund boss Hans-Joachim Watzke last week that City were ready to activate the striker’s release clause and the two clubs have moved quickly to conclude a deal.
Haaland je postigao 85 golova u 88 mečeva za Dortmund otkako je došao iz RB Salzburga u januaru 2020. Posljednja utakmica Dortmunda u sezoni je subotnji domaći meč protiv Herthe Berlin.
Asked about the deal to sign the Norwegian at his press conference on Tuesday, Guardiola said: “Everybody knows the situation.
“Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City have told me I am not allowed to say anything until the deal is completely done. I cannot talk, I am sorry. We will have time to talk.”
Klopp: Haaland deal will “set new levels”
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes the Haaland deal will “set new levels” in the transfer market, with the summer window officially opening on June 10.
U ekskluzivnom intervjuu Sky Sports News, he said: “I signed a new contract knowing that City would not stop developing. It’s not about City to define if we can be happy or not, it’s about us and what we can make of it.
“Imate toliko mogućnosti i toliko različitih načina da pobijedite u fudbalskoj utakmici, a mi moramo pronaći samo jednu. Očigledno je moguće i mi to možemo.
“Suočavamo se sa Sitijem dva, tri – sa kup takmičenjima, Ligom šampiona – pet, šest puta možda godišnje, ali ne češće od svih ostalih.
“Ako Erling Haaland ode tamo, to ih neće oslabiti, definitivno ne. Mislim da se dosta pričalo o ovom transferu. Znam da se mnogo priča o novcu, ali ovaj transfer će postaviti nove nivoe, dozvolite mi da to kažem ovako.”
