Matthias Sammer, advisor for Borussia Dortmund, hinted at the possibility of the team's star player Erling Haaland moving to Manchester City in the upcoming summer transfer window. Media reports confirmed that the 21-year-old Norwegian striker has a release clause of €75 million in his contract with Borussia Dortmund, which will become available next summer, making Haaland a target for Europe's biggest clubs.
Matthias Sammer revealed in media statements reported on Wednesday that Manchester City made a significant offer for the Norwegian striker, saying: "I almost lost consciousness when I learned about Manchester City's offer for Haaland." He continued: "I nearly had a stroke when I saw the numbers; I can't even count them."
English reports mentioned that Manchester City is prepared to pay Haaland €594,000 per week. Haaland has scored 23 goals in 21 matches for Borussia Dortmund in all competitions this season, along with 6 assists. Manchester City, the Premier League champions, are keen on signing Haaland after failing to secure Tottenham's Harry Kane last summer, while both Real Madrid and Barcelona are also competing for the Borussia star's signature.
