Borussia Dortmund advisor ‘passed out’ when he heard about the finances involved in Erling Haaland’s possible transfer to Manchester City
Matthias Sammer, a Borussia Dortmund advisor, quipped that he ‘passed out’ when he learned of the financial implications of Erling Haaland’s probable transfer to Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s team are the frontrunners to sign the Norwegian striker in the summer, according to Sportsmail.
The deal is expected to be worth almost £100 million.
Haaland’s release clause is worth £63 million, plus a signing-on incentive and a large payment to his agent, Mino Raiola.
Furthermore, Manchester City are prepared to pay the 21-year-old the highest-paid player in the Premier League, with weekly salaries of £500,000.
When asked about a possible Amazon Prime deal, Sammer stated:
“I didn’t hear anything today, yesterday, the day before yesterday.
“I know City is after him. The numbers – I had whiplash! I passed out. My wife picked me up again. Accordingly, it is possible.”
Sammer, who was Bayern Munich’s sporting director during Pep Guardiola’s tenure, stated that he would like to see Haaland play under the Spanish manager.
“I’m very excited to see how the Guardiola-Haaland combination will work if it comes to that,” he said.
“They will both benefit from each other. Because Pep, of course – I was able to experience him for three years – has a certain idea. I can also imagine dealing with a centre-forward, no question. But he will also have to learn from the centre-forward.”
Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in Haaland, although Real Madrid is City’s major competitor for his signature.
