‘OMG, it’s happening’, ‘He’s coming’ – Plenty of Man City fans react as Borussia Dortmund adviser drops significant Erling Haaland hint

Borussia Dortmund advisor Matthias Sammer has hinted that striker Erling Haaland will be joining Manchester City this summer.

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.

After weeks of speculation regarding his future and where his next destination could be, several reports are now pointing towards Manchester City being the successful suitor.

Now, Dortmund adviser Matthias Sammer has commented on the potential transfer, describing it as fact before backtracking slightly and offering an update on talks on Tuesday.

Speaking on Amazon Prime (via Goal ), Sammer was asked how Haaland could work with Guardiola, to which he replied: “They will both benefit from each other. Because Pep, of course – I was able to experience him for three years – has a certain idea.

“I can also imagine dealing with a centre-forward, no question. But he will also have to learn from the centre-forward.”

When asked if his answer meant a deal was already done, Sammer retreated and said he didn’t know. However, he did offer an insight into the possible figures involved in talks for Haaland.

“I didn’t hear anything today, yesterday, the day before yesterday,” he said. “I know City is after him. The numbers – I had whiplash! I passed out. My wife picked me up again. Accordingly, it is possible.”

These Matthias Sammer’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
