His signature match with Erling Haaland is nearing its conclusion, but it has yet to be decided. The Borussia Dortmund striker has rejected a big financial offer from Manchester City that nets about 28 million euros in salary per season, according to the newspaper “AS”.
The English club has made a strong bet and does not rule out continuing to increase its offer, but at the time there is no agreement between the two parties. Haaland has always given priority to playing in Spain and under the same circumstances he prioritizes playing in La Liga, which gives Barcelona and Madrid hope.
Manchester City, after failing to sign Harry Kane last summer, have been stalking Haaland for months. The English club had enough economic power to pay for the exit clause and bear the commissions, but it offered a record salary that did not come close to 30 million net worth.
This last number is not accepted by the player, who can have another higher bid or he can choose a sports project that attracts him more even if he charges a much lower fee.
Haaland’s surroundings want to make a decision, like the striker, at the end of April. He will leave Borussia Dortmund for sure and Real Madrid have been pressing hard in recent weeks, so he can’t rule out his economic offer being better.
Barcelona has reached the limits of its means and hopes that Haaland will play with him to sign Blaugrana because he will have all the options to lead a sporting project that looks very good for the future.
