Manchester City still plan to sign a marquee striker in the summer transfer window, with Erling Haaland their top target.
Man City fans send Erling Haaland transfer message after Julian Alvarez arrival
03.02.2022 - 10:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City fans have made it very clear they want the club to still sign Erling Haaland despite the arrival of Julian Alvarez.
City were unable to find a replacement for Sergio Aguero last summer after their attempts to sign Harry Kane ended in failure which has left them without a natural No.9 this season.
It hasn't mattered much as of yet, with Pep Guardiola's side sitting pretty nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table, but it may well come back to bite them in the latter stages of the Champions League.
A striker is the obvious way for the Blues to improve their side and they did sign one on transfer deadline day in the form of River Plate star Alvarez.
The South American Footballer of the Year bagged 24 goals and 15 assists as he fired his side to a league title and Copa Libertadores triumph last season.
City have spent £14.1million to secure the highly sought after Argentine but he will remain at El Monumental until at least July.
Despite the promise of Alvarez, City supporters still want the club to go out and secure a top-class striker in the summer window - namely Haaland.
MEN Sport asked fans in a survey 'should City still target Haaland after signing Alvarez' and an overwhelming 72.8 per cent of the 1,609 responders said yes, with only 27.2 per cent opting for no.
Haaland is bound to be the transfer saga of the summer as it's expected he will leave Borussia Dortmund when a €75million release clause is understood to come into play.
City will likely be among the pack of Europe's top clubs who will attempt to snag the Norwegian goal sensation, whose remarkable scoring record has continued this season with 23 strikes in just 20 games.
