Raiola names Man City as one of the potential destinations for Erling Haaland ahead of Man United

Manchester City have been linked with Erling Haaland and the Cityzens are considered to be the favorites to sign the 21-year-old.

Haaland has been absolutely sensational for Borussia Dortmund since his move from RB Salzburg in 2020. Having played only 72 games for the Schwarz Gelbe, the Norweigan talent has managed to find the net 74 times while assisting on 19 occasions. These are some staggering stats for a striker who is only 21-years-old.

Haaland is only considered as one of the best of his generation and since the time he made his debut for Dortmund. With his release clause worth €75 million set to become active next summer, Haaland has been linked with Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Manchester City are considered to be the frontrunners to sign the 21-year-old but it is unlikely that the striker would want to play for Real Madrid, with Kylian Mbappe looking set to join the Los Blancos next summer on a Bosman. Numerous sources understand that Erling Haaland does not want to share the limelight with Mbappe, which is understandable as Mbappe is the only player among the prospects who can consistently rack up rivaling stats to the 21-year-old.

Having said that, Haaland’s super-agent, Mino Raiola opened up on Haaland potentially switching clubs next summer and named Manchester City as one of the possible destinations for the 21-year-old, whose father Alf-Inge Haaland once played in the Sky Blue colors.

Raiola explained why City are one of the favorites and compared the Cityzens with rivals United when it comes to winning silverware and the progress that the Cityzens have made in the last five years.

"“Erling Haaland will take the next step. Bayern, Real, Barcelona, ​​Man City – these are the big clubs he can join. Man City won the PL five times, significantly more than Man United. When we moved to BVB, we all knew that this step would come”.Source: Twitter"

It is clear that Haaland will change clubs next summer, with Dortmund crashing out of the Champions League group stages this term.

City are expected to go all-out for Erling Haaland, having been shot down by Tottenham Hotspur in the recently concluded summer window, while attempting to sign Harry Kane.
