Erling Haaland announced as signing for new club from Man City as website hacked
28.05.2024 - 09:51 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erling Haaland was reportedly forced to contact Brazilian side Fluminense on Monday night to question why he had been announced as their new signing.
The Manchester City striker is enjoying some well deserved down time after firing the Blues to a fourth successive Premier League title. He is under contract at City until 2027 and has scored 90 goals with 15 assists in 98 appearances for the club.
However, on Monday, an article on Fluminense's website claimed that Haaland was making the shock switch to Brazil 'after intense negotiations and a great effort from our board'. The article added that his signing 'will be a decisive milestone in the turnaround of our season.'

According to GE.globo, who contacted Fluminense, the club confirmed that their website had been hacked and they have not signed Haaland. A user on Twitter claimed responsibility for the prank, which was not announced on City's channels.
It is claimed Haaland took the measure of contacting Fluminense to ask why the article had been published. It was taken down on Tuesday morning.
City beat Fluminense in December's Club World Cup final, although Haaland was injured and did not play in the game in Saudi Arabia. He has not hidden his desire to leave City in the future to experience other major leagues, but has also insisted he is happy at the Etihad for the time being. There does not appear to be any danger of the Norwegian leaving this summer after two successful years in Manchester.
