‘Rather have Martinez’ – Fans reacts to Man City’s preferred Alternative if bid for Erling Haaland fails

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that claims the club will consider making a bid for Harry Kane if they are unable to sign their top transfer target Erling Haaland this summer.

The Tottenham Hotspur forward is one of the names on City’s short list, along with Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martínez, and even recently Southampton’s Danny Ings, as they seek to find a replacement for Sergio Aguero this summer.

According to The Times, Man City will consider making a bid for Harry Kane if they are unable to sign their top transfer target Erling Haaland this summer, with Martínez another player also scouted extensively.

The 20-year-old Norwegian forward has proven he can be a deadly finisher with 33 goals in 31 games across all competitions at club level this season after his tally of 44 in 40 matches for both Dortmund and RB Salzburg last term.

Kane also has a proven record in the Premier League with 160 goals in 234 appearances since he made his league debut nine years ago. After years of reports linking him with a move away, the rumors may well come true as Kane, who still has over three years left on his deal may actually leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

Whether either of them can live up to Guardiola’s demands and to fill Sergio Aguero’s boots after he confirmed he’ll leave Manchester City this summer remains to be seen, but they are undoubtedly natural goalscorers; as their individual records shows.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, Many man City fans have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.

I genuinely don’t see what’s wrong with Lautaro!!

Honestly Aguero decision is only acceptable if it’s Haaland. Would prefer Aguero 100 times more than Kane and 10 times more than Martinez.

Laughable how everyone keeps saying they won’t take Kane not as though he’s been the best striker in the league for the past couple seasons. Also in his prime now and he’s a proven premier league player who guarantees goals
