Man City confirm agreement to sign Haaland in £51m deal

Manchester City have agreed to pay £51.1 million for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.

City have paid the 21-year-old’s release clause and expect to pay £85.5m in total when agent fees, signing bonus and other costs are taken into account.

Haaland will join City on July 1st, subject to the club finalizing terms with the player.

It was reported that the 21-year-old completed his medical on Monday at Hospital Erasme in Brussels.

Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano informed Dortmund boss Hans-Joachim Watzke last week that City were ready to activate the striker’s release clause and the two clubs have moved quickly to conclude a deal.
