‘Bored of this saga already’, ‘getting annoying now’ – Haaland transfer update has Many Man City fans worried

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report to yet another update on the club’s pursuit of Borussia Dortmund superstar Erling Braut Haaland ahead of the summer transfer window.

Haaland is expected to leave Signal Iduna Park during the summer transfer window, when a £62.8million release clause written into his contract will become active.

The Citizens are believed to be leading the race for the 21-year-old’s signature, while La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on his situation.

Various reports claim the reigning Premier League champions are the firm favourites to sign the imperious Norwegian who has contributed a sensational 23 goals and six assists in 23 appearances in all competitions.

Although reports that a deal has been agreed are premature as things stand, an insight from Spain has indicated that the Sky Blues are not as confident regarding the completion of the deal for the Leeds-born forward just yet.

As per the latest information provided by Mundo Deportivo, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness, it is said that sources close to City hold the belief that Real Madrid are leading the charge to sign Haaland next season.

The report states that City will certainly be in the market for a striker, and whilst Haaland makes sense, it would be understandable if they want to keep their options open and avoid the added pressure of building hype.

In light to the update, many Man City fans have reacted – here are some of the best responses.

“Can’t wait for a source close to Real Madrid to say that they think City are in the lead and Haaland will join us. This whole “they’re ahead. No we’re ahead” is annoying as hell.”

“The Spanish media will always try and push the narrative that he wants Madrid and Barca over City because they don’t like the fact that City is now more of a pull than both, he’ll end up at City, better manager + better project + better team + better league.”
