Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
According to this news source, Manchester City are really interested in Dortmund's great striker Erling Haaland. However, they are not willing to spend too much to sign him. Maybe the reason why they made a statement like this (if it's not a rumour) could be that they are thinking of signing Harry Kane at the first occasion. Harry Kane is unhappy at Tottenham now and he wants to leave the team as soon as possible. And he would cost less than Haaland to City I guess.

It’s a ridiculous desire to get a young super soccer player (who probably represents the future golden generation) for little money
This is something of a fantasy. Even if Haaland becomes a free agent it won't be cheap to get him - too many clubs want him and will give him huge payoffs for him to choose their club.
