Chelsea Make Impromptu Decision On Signing Erling Haaland With Man City Directly Pushing For His Signature

As per the reliable Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are ‘pushing’ to sign Erling Haaland.

Pep Guardiola wants the young striker at ‘all costs’. The City team is already world-class but they lack a top-quality striker and Haaland will fill that gap.

The tier-one journalist adds that the race is ‘still open’ with Real Madrid and City the two clubs battling for Erling Haaland’s signature – Chelsea are not named as an interested party.

The final decision will be up to Haaland but the financials of the deal are no problem for Man City, who have one of the richest owners in football.
