Plenty of Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays updates on the future of Borussia Dortmund superstar.
The 21-year-old striker has been widely tipped to seek a new challenge elsewhere ahead of next season, with City joining a whole host of top clubs with a shared interest in securing his signature.
Having missed out on a deal for Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane earlier this year, the Norwegian goal machine is reportedly next Pep Guardiola’s ‘primary striker target’ as he looks for a new No 9 after the departure of Sergio Aguero last summer.
City may well have signed the very promising Julian Alvarez on deadline day of the January transfer window, but that deal has far from satisfied the Blues’ appetite for a new elite striker.
Haaland, who remains under contract with the Black and Yellow until 2024, has already netted 23 goals in 20 appearances for Dortmund this term despite injury concerns.
Such remarkable progress in Germany has invariably put the Norwegian goal machine on the radars of many European football clubs.
According to a report from Cadena SER, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have made proposals to secure the signing of the Norwegian international in the summer transfer window.
The report further goes on to claim that Manchester City are currently the favourites to sign the former RB Salzburg sensation. But, at the same time, Real Madrid are believed to be working hard to derail the Cityzens’ plans.
In light to the report on Haaland, many Man City fans have reacted – here are some of the best responses.

Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.

Even if this is true, we won’t sign him. We were favourites to sign Messi at one point
