And the reasons why their priority is Harry Kane could be like this:
- Harry Kane would cost them much lower than Erling Haaland.
- Harry Kane is already very accustomed to playing in the English Premier League and he has had great statistics in the recent years. But they don't know if Erling Haaland would perform at the level he performs at Dortmund in the worst case.
Harry Kane is a very experienced forward and Manchester City would benefit from his experience a lot in the Champions League also.
Harry Kane will cost over 100m and he is almost 30.
Haaland has a release clause of 75m and he is 20.
Spot the difference.
Of course, I'm aware of the big difference. But there must be some reason for Manchester City to insist on Harry Kane as their priority rather than Erling Haaland. If I were in Manchester City's place, I would definitely go for Erling Haaland first and give my best to sign him. In the end, Manchester City have no money issue as they are a very rich team. And Erling Haaland is not some ordinary young player. He is playing this awesome even in his 20s. I can't even imagine his performance in the future unless he faces so big injuries.
