Manchester City director Txiki Begiristain is reported to have met with super-agent Mino Raiola to discuss an ambitious potential transfer deal for Borussia Dortmund goal machine Erling Haaland for the summer.

It’s little surprise to see a big name like Man City chasing Haaland, while Barcelona have also spoken to his agent Raiola about a possible deal, as per transfer news specialist Fabrizio Romano in the video clip posted to Twitter below…

It would be some statement if City could land Haaland ahead of other European giants, and it would really cement the Premier League’s status as the strongest league in the world.
The 21-year-old would be a superb fit in Pep Guardiola’s side, giving MCFC the ideal candidate to replace the legendary Sergio Aguero.
One imagines Haaland would keep on scoring at an incredibly prolific rate at the Etihad Stadium, as this team would be perfectly set up for him with the amount of the ball they have and the chances they create.
