05, 10 News According to the latest report by the Times German columnist Constantin Eckner, he was told that Haaland
Land’s move to Manchester City is expected to be finalized this week, with senior Dortmund officials believing the £63m deal has been done and ready to make it official.
Haaland’s camp and Manchester City reached an agreement in mid-April. At that time, there were still differences between the two parties on the signing fee and commission payment, but it has now been resolved.
The fee is considerably less than what Harry Kane was asking for last summer, as the Norway striker has a release clause in his contract with Dortmund.
It is understood that Manchester City offered Harland a total salary of up to 500,000 pounds.
And sources say they are not worried about his wages disrupting the harmony among the club’s existing stars, suggesting his base salary will be on par with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne (£385,000),
It is estimated that Manchester City’s total commitment to sign Haaland may exceed 200 million pounds.
Meanwhile, The Times understands City have decided not to sign Manchester United’s French midfielder Paul Pogba, who will become a free agent this summer to pursue other midfield targets.
