Man City ponder BVB’s €180M asking price for Haaland

Manchester City are looking seriously into the possibility of  acquiring Dortmund’s talisman Erling Haaland. Borussia Dortmund are demanding €180m to sell Erling Haaland this summer.

ESPN says with Dortmund struggling to qualify for next season’s Champions League, the likes of Manchester United, Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all on red alert but they have set a premium of £154m (€180m) for the 20-year-old, a year before a £65m release clause kicks in.

The report details that the expensive price-tag, which would be a Premier League record transfer if he moved to England, is designed to ward off Europe’s biggest clubs, in a similar stance taken with Jadon Sancho and Manchester United’s pursuit of him last summer.

Dortmund believe that the asking price should result in Haaland staying at the club for at least another year.

Nevertheless, Man City are seen as the favourites in terms of being able to match Dortmund’s asking price.
