Everyone knows the situation regarding the club's move for Erling Haaland.
The 21-year-old is close to completing his transfer from the Bundesliga side.
The deal is agreed according to sources in Germany.
Manchester City andBorussia Dortmund have told me I am not allowed to speak until the deal is done.
The Spaniard couldn't discuss the signing for legal reasons.
When asked about Haaland at the news conference, he said he couldn't talk. I am sorry. We will have time to talk.
Everyone knows the situation. I don't like to talk about the future or next season, so I shouldn't.
When asked about the impact a new number nine would have on the title, he said that they had a number nine now.
New players help to be a stronger team. We don't have a single defender or forward who will solve our defensive or scoring problems.
The club has to have a plan for the future. I am aware of and supportive of the decisions the club makes.
The reports that the Haaland deal is done are not being responded to by the city.
It is thought that almost all parts of the transfer are agreed, with City only needing to invoke the clause to start the transfer.
The transfer is one of the largest of the summer.
Mino Raiola had been involved in the discussions prior to his death.
Even though City are within touching distance of a second successive title achieved without an orthodox centre-forward, bossPep has always stressed his desire to have one.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy refused to sell Harry Kane to City.
With Kane having two years left on his contract, Haaland is an easier deal to conclude.
He has scored 92 league goals in 121 appearances.
He was the youngest player to reach 20 goals.
The Monday Night Club is on Radio 5 Live.
What a player. It was a statement to the rest of the teams. The fit is perfect.
I don't think there is a better fit apart from Kane.
As a young player, City is a great destination for him.
Chris Sutton was a Celtic player.
You would think that he would develop but will he be the signing that wins the title?
The expectation will be great because of what he has achieved so far but he is only 21 and he may take a little while to fit in, but he has all the attributes.
The guy is so big people bounce off him. He is a great finisher for a tall guy, he has great feet, is good in the air, and holds it in well.
He will get better and better and I think he is going to the right club with the right coach.
