Erling Haaland

Hope this isn't a repeat of the Hazard situation where we're competing with Chelsea and their Champions League win is what secures them the signing.
After the champions league I started think about that. I then started to wonder if not winning it adds that extra spice for Kane, Haaland or Grealish. As we have never won it before they could be instrumental in us winning it for the first time. Just a thought.

What secured the signing then wasn’t that they won the UCL, but that they were guaranteed to play the UCL the following year after winning, since they hadn’t secured a spot via the PL
 
I think it's better than that tbh... Depends if Txiki is willing to dance with Mino, or if as per usual he will take the easy way out

If the report is accurate Erling is indeed happy speaking to Chelsea/Tuchel, it would also suggest Erling hasn't made City his absolute priority.

That would be a shifting of his position from just a few months back.

It does however, indicate he is still for sale this summer.

Sadly, these are the type of deals Chelsea have form for getting over the line.

They leave their principles at the door.
 
if chelsea are willing to pay £170 million then am a Dutchmen
its bluff and the agent is playing games knowing manchester city his haaland choice and wants a big pay day

i don't think chelsea can splash that sort of cash after last summer and FFP should be all over them if they do
manchester city are the only club that can spend over £200million and still be well within the FFP

Oh I most definitely agree that he is happy to speak to Chelsea.

But in the same way, Mbappe talked to Pep, it isn't a commitment, but there is a mutual interest.

The same way there may be for us as well.

If he goes to Chelsea because they won the champions league This year then they can have him.
Bored of reading all this he’s a city fan bullshit, he will go for the most money his dad and raiola can get

Id rather have kane
All the way through haaland and his team struck me as happy to go for most money
The raiola tour was the bit where I thought we should leave him well alone
Something about him I don’t like

The report doesn’t say this?!
Having conversations isn’t an issue. Expecting a player of this caliber to not speak to the current UCL winners isn’t realistic. Let them speak and let’s play the game

Remember they also had a transfer ban for a year so they had cash reserves built up for this, even then though I do think this would be them essentially emptying their reserves, and that team is going to need a remodel in a couple of years, with Thiago Silva getting up there, and Rudiger having a year left on his deal.

Whilst conversations are out of our control, the fact the player is receptive enough to hear Chelsea out, as Mino also was with Barca and Real, the writing is clear enough, Erling isn't closed off to anyone.

That's his prerogative, but it's not how City want to roll this summer because they want assurances around our next No.9, such is the priority weighted on it.

We thought we had it with Erling, appears not, if he's still happy to listen to pitches from Chelsea at this stage, however prudent on his part.

It may explain a lot on Kane.

What cash reserves? This isn't Liverpool who are supposedly dining out on the Coutinho money for eternity. We made the Kovacic loan permanent during the summer we were banned to the tune of £50m and we have since spent about £200m on 6 players.

The transfer window hasn’t even opened yet. This doesn’t mean it has to drag on forever.

Also, if we can’t man up to fight freaking Chelsea (not Madrid or Barcelona at their peak...) for our main priority, might as well give up.
 
Footballers fees are getting beyond stupid each year. I thought Covid would lower Transfer fees but they are actually increasing. Kane 150£ and Haaland 160£ Million sounds desillusionial

I believe the club has its economic ceiling and up to now have maintained that formula, which is a factor in the fact City haven’t landed any supposed Galactico.
I agree with City’s policy and despite not going overboard on any player they still have a world class squad.

Would be silly for a player to say they only want City when City are so openly courting someone else.

Erling grew up supporting multiple clubs because of Alf. Im sure he'd love to play for a club he supported in City, but he probably isn't the kind of diehard romantic fan that someone like Foden is, and besides he knows 99% of players don't play for the club they grew up supporting.

I don’t believe if we don’t sign Haaland it will be because of a financial reason

That formula is out the window this summer. Kane and potentially Grealish attest to that.

We can afford to bid as much as any team, but rightly or wrongly I believe a maximum figure is the plimsoll line. Maybe in this case we will push our limits further but possibly not enough to outbid Chelsea, who will throw the kitchen sink into this offer.
The only winner will be Dortmund.
