# Manchester City: Txiki makes Erling Haaland offer

**According to reliable journalist Gianluca Di Marzio (via City Xtra), Manchester City have made a sensational offer to Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland ahead of the summer transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: Haaland’s career

Whilst the season may not have gone exactly as the Norway international had planned due to a number of injuries which forced him to the sidelines for [ten of Dortmund’s league games,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/leistungsdaten/spieler/418560) the 21-year-old has remained lethal in front of goal, having scored an incredible [16 goals in 19 Bundesliga matches.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/leistungsdaten/spieler/418560)

When combined with his staggering overall record of [56 goals in 62 German top-flight games,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/leistungsdaten/spieler/418560) Haaland has become one of the most sought-after players across the whole of Europe.

As a result, [Manchester City and Real Madrid](https://theathletic.com/3165742/2022/03/07/ornstein-city-or-real-favourites-for-haaland-with-strikers-future-to-be-sorted-in-coming-weeks/) have emerged as the frontrunners in the race for his signature.

### The Latest: City’s offer

According to Di Marzio, as relayed by [City Xtra](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1513557776777326600), the Sky Blues have proposed an offer to Haaland. Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1513557776777326600), City Xtra shared:

*“Man City have presented an offer to Erling Haaland: An annual salary of around €30M per season for five years. The offer presented by the Man City also includes the release clause of €75M plus agent commissions equal €70M. \[via @DiMarzio\]”*

### The Verdict: Would be a magnificent signing

City boss Pep Guardiola is a keen admirer of Haaland, having hailed the 21-year-old as an [“exceptional striker”.](https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/champions-league/the-numbers-speak-for-themselves-hesan-exceptional-striker-haaland-praise-from-pep-as-transfer-rumours-intensify-40276833.html)

As a result, director of football Txiki Begiristain has seemingly been doing anything he can to secure the Norwegian, given his side’s [failure to secure Harry Kane last summer.](https://talksport.com/football/1046250/man-city-harry-kane-tottenham-pep-guardiola-striker-premier-league/)

With such an efficient goalscorer in Guardiola’s side, City’s attacking threat could dominate Premier League defences.

Therefore, Haaland’s arrival at the Etihad could prove to be a magnificent bit of business if Txiki can get the deal over the line.
