Man City officially welcome Haaland to the team as a Cityzen

Manchester City are delighted to confirm the signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

The 21-year-old will join the Club on 1 July after penning a five-year deal which keeps him at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2027.

The son of former City player Alfie, who signed almost 22 years ago to the day, Haaland junior is widely regarded as one of Europe’s best strikers and arrives at the Club with a formidable goalscoring reputation following impressive spells at Molde FK, Red Bull Salzburg and Dortmund.

Moreover, winger Rodrygo, who scored a brace in Real’s thrilling semifinal win against Chelsea, also has the ability to score with headers. Hence, the Real Madrid full-backs will look to send in crosses into the Liverpool penalty box whenever they go into overlaps.

Ibrahima Konate’s role would become very crucial in this context. Van Dijk is likely to be consumed by Benzema. With the full-backs having attacking instincts, Konate might have to deal with the twin threat of Vinicius and Rodryogo and also engage in aerial battles with the two.

Go do your voodoo s***, you little donkey,' Ibrahimovic was heard yelling at the Belgian, who replied: 'f*** you and your wife, you little b****' as both players were shown yellow cards for their behaviour.
