[인터풋볼] Reporter Daesik Kim = Elling Haaland joins Manchester City.
Manchester City announced on their official website on the 10th (Korean time), “Manchester City have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund to sign Haaland on July 1, 2022. In the negotiations, only individual negotiations remain.” It is known that Haaland has already undergone medical tests and personal negotiations are already in the final stages, so all transfers are expected to be finalized soon.
City are set to bring Haaland to fill a long front-line void. Since last season, City have operated their offensive line without a striker. After Sergio Aguero left the team, he used Gabriel Jesus’ tactics and pulse-nine tactics, but he still had concerns about the front line. Eventually Manchester City decided to sign Haaland to complete the reinforcements.
Haaland was called the No. 1 candidate for the next Ballon d’Or because of his excellent physical ability, fast speed, and excellent shooting accuracy, determination, and coordination skills. The downside is that the frequency of injuries has increased, but when he comes out, he is a player who shows unchanging goalscoring ability. Haaland was born in 2000 and is still in her early 20s. He will definitely grow more than he is now.
