The announcement of Sergio Aguero’s departure from Manchester City at the end of the season is the clearest indicator yet that the club are on the verge of signing Erling Haaland.
Aguero was under the impression he would be offered a new contract when his current term expires this summer but was surprised to learn that he will be surplus to requirements.
Haaland’s future has been the hot topic of conversation among the football media for some weeks now, with Chelsea and Man Utd keen to sign the Borussia Dortmund forward.
But this latest move by Man City has got tongues wagging and keyboards tapping. Expect to see the 20-year-old Norwegian in a light blue kit next season.
