Erling Haaland officially completed his £51 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City on Monday morning, putting an end to a two-year search for Sergio Agüero’s replacement.
The Norwegian international has a long history of goal scoring, averaging around a goal per game for both club and country.
After finishing all of his media appearances in late May, the 21-year-old went on international duty, scoring five goals in four UEFA Nations League matches.
The expected reaction to Monday’s much-anticipated announcement was that every Manchester City fan is thrilled to see him back in the team and eager to see what he can do alongside world-class talent under Pep Guardiola.
Erling Haaland has met a number of his new teammates for the first time already. The striker met up with centre-back duo Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte at Doctor Ramon Cugat’s Barcelona clinic, as shown in Manchester City’s classic YouTube series Inside City.
Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte were receiving crucial assessments on their respective injury problems, while Erling Haaland was in attendance for a portion of his Manchester City medical duties.
As he entered the room of Doctor Cugat, the Norwegian forward shared a laugh with Dias, with the appointment coming just hours after Manchester City’s Premier League title parade.
