Man City have confirmed the signing of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland for £51 million.
The Norwegian wonder kid will follow in the footstep of his father Alf Inge. Alf Inge played for the Citizens some two decades ago, and his 21-year-old son is about to continue from where he stopped.

Man City have confirmed that Haaland will be joining them this summer after the Norwegian international agreed to sign a 5-year contract that will see the prolific striker at Etihad Stadium until 2027.
Pep Guardiola’s side has agreed to pay a £51 million ($63 million) fee meant to trigger the release clause in Haaland’s contract at Dortmund.


Haaland has been a key target to many big clubs across Europe, but in the early hours of Mondy, Manchester City seems to have won the race of signing the ace striker after passing a medical at Belgium.


Erling Haaland has been a prolific striker for Borussia Dortmund since joining the German club in 2020 scoring 28 goals in 29 appearances this season after scoring 41 goals in 41 appearances the previous season, making a total of 69 goals in 70 appearances for Dortmund in the past two seasons.


The Norwegian striker met his early rise to fame at Salzburg where he performed remarkably in the 2019 Champions League attracting several big clubs the following season, he joined German giants Borussia Dortmund and continued his good form to date.

Man City Confirmed Haaland Transfer

Many soccer fans are still in disbelief about the signing of Erling Haaland by English giants Manchester City, as the transfer seems too good to be true.
However, City announced the successful signing of Borussia Dortmund striker on Tuesday in a statement via their official website confirming reaching an agreement to land the star boy at Etihad.

It reads “Manchester City can confirm we have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of striker Erling Haaland to the club on 1st July 2022. The transfer remains subject to the club finalizing terms with the player.”
Haaland will be unveiled at Etihad after the expiration of his contract at Borussia Dortmund on July 1st.

Why Did Man City Signed Erling Haaland?

Although Manchester City have been a strong force to reckon with in the English Premier League, the quest for European glory has been a mirage to the English giants.
Since the departure of Sergio Aguero from the club in 2021, City have lacked a fearsome striker upfront. And if they must record their mark in Europe, there is a need for a fearsome striker like Erling Haaland.
In an attempt to secure a formidable striker, Pep Guardiola has made several bids to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur all to no avail. City Boss thereafter shifted attention to Erling Haaland who seem to be a better bargain than Kane. hereby resulting in the arrival of the Borussia Dortmund striker.

Erling Haaland Worth in Man City Deal

City were fortunate to have reached a deal with Haaland with £51 million quite a small amount for a striker of his caliber in this era where a nine-figure price tag is becoming more common than usual.
However, that amount was the exact amount inserted into his contract when he joined Borussia Dortmund from Salzburg in 2020, although there are undisclosed bonuses and agent fees attached to the release clause.

Haaland will be receiving about €400,000 per week alongside Kevin De Bruyne as the club’s highest earners, and the contract will keep him at Etihad Stadium until 2027.
The citizens should be hoping to see the formidable side of the ace striker come the 2022/2023 season with the hope that he breaks loose from the incessant injuries that weekend his performance this season.

Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment

 Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment!

In a Scottish Premiership clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, Rangers’ loanee Findlay Curtis turned heads with a cheeky celebration that has since gone viral online. The 19-year-old, on loan at Kilmarnock, was at the heart of the drama as his side surged into an early lead against fierce rivals Celtic at Rugby Park — and he didn’t hold back in celebrating it.

 

Curtis, deployed in a more advanced role for this fixture, made the most of his opportunity. After Tyreece John-Jules opened the scoring and Kilmarnock doubled their advantage, cameras caught the young winger raising his arms and gesturing in celebration directly in front of the Celtic supporters in the away end — a moment that instantly lit up social media.

 

Although his exuberant celebration was quickly cut short when veteran keeper Kasper Schmeichel ushered him away, the damage was done — pundits and fans alike have been talking about it ever since. That kind of on-field bravado in front of the rival support doesn’t happen every day, and it’s one that will stick in the minds of supporters on both sides.

Whether you see it as passionate football emotion or a bit of mind games, Curtis’ reaction added another unforgettable moment to a season already packed with drama and rivalry — showing once again why the Scottish Premiership never fails to entertain.

End of the Road at Parkhead? Andy Walker Drops Brutal Verdict on Celtic’s Japanese Duo

Published

on

“Are Celtic’s Japanese Stars Past Their Best? Andy Walker Predicts End of the Road for Maeda & Hatate”

Recent pundit commentary has stirred fresh debate among fans of Celtic Football Club, with veteran analyst Andy Walker making bold claims about two of the team’s key Japanese players — Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. Walker’s verdict? This could be the final chapter at Parkhead for both players if they don’t turn their seasons around.

Struggles on the Pitch

Walker’s view stems from both men’s current dip in form. Hatate, normally a creative midfield presence, was recently scrutinised after a costly mistake led to a penalty for Livingston — and Walker suggested it might be time for him to lose his place temporarily in the starting XI to find confidence again.

Meanwhile, Maeda — who once electrified Scottish football with blistering pace and a PFA Player of the Year-winning season — has yet to recapture that spark this campaign. The forward is playing well below the high standards he set previously, and Walker believes both he and Hatate may have run their course at Celtic unless they rediscover their best form before the season ends.

Why This Matters

Walker’s assessment resonates beyond just match performance:

  • Maeda’s Blocked Transfer: Earlier in the season, Maeda openly admitted he wanted a move away — only for Celtic to block it — and pundits speculated this block may have affected his focus and sharpness.
  • Legacy and Timing: If both players fail to make a strong impact before the campaign’s conclusion, Walker argues their legacies at Celtic could be overshadowed by disappointment rather than remembered for their earlier success.

 The Bigger Picture

Celtic’s squad is at a crossroads. With new tactics, fresh faces and evolving expectations under manager Brendan Rodgers, long-serving players must justify their place or risk being phased out. Walker’s blunt but insightful commentary has sparked fresh debate among supporters over who should lead the club forward — and who’s time might be running out.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

on

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

 

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

 

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

 

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

 

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

 

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.
