Man City 'to pull off Erling Haaland deal' as secret agreement emerges

The deal is expected to cost almost £100m, with Haaland’s agent Mino Raiola set to earn a substantial amount from orchestrating the move.

Of course, that fee is well within the grasp of City and, presumably, the funds from their successes this season could be used to fund the move.

Haaland has impressed with his pace and power since breaking onto the footballing scene at Molde, scoring 149 career goals in 190 appearances overall and showing the potential to develop into one of the best in the world.

With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo coming to the backend of their careers, Haaland and PSG’s Kylian Mbappe are expected to be the heirs to their thrones and battle it out for Ballon d’Ors for many years to come.
