Guardiola’s first public assessment of Haaland, the new Manchester City player

“I can’t talk about it until it’s done”, expressed Pep Guardiola to respond to the journalists who consulted him about the arrival of Erling Haaland to Manchester City. Of course, the DT’s words came before the Premier League club reports the agreement with Borussia Dortmund to make the effective transfer with a view to the following season.

“We’ll talk”, promised the Spaniard. So it was. After the victory of the ‘Citizens’ against Wolverhampton (1-5) on Wednesday, the coach gave his first assessment of the Norway national team’s scorer. From the outset, the coach announced that the transfer was made following a roadmap that points to the long term.

“He is a good signing for the future, hopefully he will come for many years. I am sure that he will adapt perfectly to our team, but that will be next season”said Pep Guardiola at the press conference held at the ‘Wolves’ Molineux stadium.

Along the same lines, the former Barcelona gave his opinion on the potential that the attacker has shown since his first international appearance with RB Salzburg and then the ‘9’ ratified him with the Bundesliga team. Likewise, the Manchester City strategist undertook to work to achieve the comfort of the ‘Cyborg’.

“My work excites me, of course. I like to work because we have good players. They make you a good coach. Of course, Haaland is young and incredibly talented. He arrives at a perfect age. I am sure that we will help him adapt as best as possible”Sentenced Guardiola.

City’s ad

“Manchester City can confirm that we have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of striker Erling Haaland to the Club on July 1, 2022. The transfer remains subject to the Club finalizing terms with the player.”said the ‘Citizens’ statement last Tuesday.

The sky-blues will pay the Norwegian player’s termination clause, which amounts to 60 million pounds (70 million euros), to take over Haaland, who has spent the last three seasons at Borussia Dortmund, after standing out in Austrian football with the Salzburg.
