There seems to be an arrogance that we can just snap our fingers next season and sign Haaland.
United have shown that they can blow us out of the water when it comes to transfer fees and wages. In recent seasons they’ve signed, Maguire, Sanchez, Fred and Fernandes who we were all strongly linked to.
That’s without mentioning the likes of Madrid, Bayern and PSG who will be closely monitoring the situation.
It appears that City’s style is to get the player to agree terms, only have eyes for City and then deal with the club. Haaland’s camp on the other hand seem keen on keeping all of his options open and having a bidding war for his services.
For me, giving up the chance to sign Kane this season on the off chance we can get Haaland next season is pure stupidity.
If Levy refuses to sell, that’s a different matter and we should then go all out for Haaland next summer. But deliberately not signing Kane and then missing out on Haaland next summer would be a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
