ManCity coach Pep Guardiola comments on the search for an Agüero successor. ManUnited coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer talks about Erling Haaland.
Does Erling Haaland leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer? And if so, where is he going?
Haaland’s father Alf-Inge is currently chatting with consultant Mino Raiola about the top European clubs to talk about a possible transfer of the striker, according to the Spanish media they also want to be presented at Manchester City on Friday.
Haaland as Aguero’s successor?
The departure of Sergio Aguero tears a big hole in the attack. The Argentinian only scored 14 competitive matches in the current season (three goals), but this was also due to his injury. First a knee injury, then a coronary infection put him out of action.
Yet Aguero has proven his worth to the Citizens for years. But after ten years, the 32-year-old striker’s time at City ends in the summer, and his contract is not renewed.
According to a report by the Times, the Skyblues have already envisaged a successor to Aguero’s wish: Erling Haaland. So does the Norwegian of BVB move to the club in the summer, where his father Alf-Inge Haaland also kicked from 2000 to 2003?
Guardiola: “That’s impossible”
Unlikely. At least if you believe the words of city coach Pep Guardiola. At the press conference before the Premier League match against Leicester City, he ruled out taking a lot of money for an attacker in the summer.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but we’re not going to buy a forward at these prices,” Guardiola explained. The BVB actually wants to keep Haaland this summer, for 2022 the 20-year-old has an exit clause of 75 million.
