The 'Daily Star' reported that Manchester City are keeping an eye on Erling Haaland's situation with Nike, the brand that currently dresses him and with whom his contract expires in January. Puma, the firm that sponsors the 'Citizen' team, wants to sign the Norwegian, something that Pep Guardiola's team would see as another step towards acquiring the striker's rights.
Virtually all of Europe will be keeping an eye on Erling Haaland in the summer of 2022, when he is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund for another European giants. Manchester City are one of the Norwegian's biggest suitors and are the main rivals to Chelsea, Real Madrid and the rest.
Another fight the Norwegian is provoking is that of the major clothing brands. Currently, the striker has a contract with Nike, although this contract will end next January and Puma wants to convince him with a contract of five million euros for five years, as reported by 'Bild'.
This news makes the Sky Blue dream, dressed by the same firm that wants to get Haaland. In Pep's team, according to the 'Daily Star', it generates some illusion that the player has as a sponsor the same brand that is in his kit.
It will not be a decisive detail in the Swedish giant's decision, but it could bring the player closer to the Sky Blue, who were unable to bring in a '9' this summer. Harry Kane sounded strongly until the last minute, but the Englishman decided to stay at Tottenham.
That Haaland is one of the most coveted targets in the world of football is no surprise, especially given his figures in his current sporting career at just 21 years of age. He has scored 159 goals in 200 appearances, although with Borussia his statistics are more impressive: 68 goals in 67 games. A machine made to kill.
