Natalie Pike, a broadcaster and Man City fan, says the club should buy a world-class forward this summer and she has complete faith in whoever the club chooses to sign.

He has 36 goals and 25 assists for River Plate.

Since the departure of their all-time leading goal scorer, City have been looking for a new forward.

Despite being short of options in the striking department, City have built an 11 point lead at the top of the league, having played a game more than second-placeLiverpool, who are the division's top scorer.

Difficult for Haaland to say no to him.

Mino Raiola, the agent for Erling Haaland, mentioned Manchester City as a viable destination for his client, as the club has been linked with a move to Erling Haaland.

Sky Sports News reporter.

I would be very surprised if he stayed at Dortmund past this summer because of the kind of clubs who are after him. I think it's going to be very difficult for him to say no to the offers that are coming in.

If Erling Haaland left the German club, Manchester City would be in a good position to sign him, but they are not confident in keeping him.

Manchester City are in pole position if you're interested in seeing Haaland in the premier league. We know they've been looking for an out-and-out forward for a long time, even though they don't really need one, and that's why they're thriving without one.

If you're going to sign a top-notch forward, you should get the best young forward in the world at a very sensible price.

It would not be easy to go to Manchester City. He would almost be guaranteed success if he went there.

He would be able to move to another club where he could score more goals and maybe not have to work as hard as he does at Manchester City, and then he could get his move to a club like Manchester City, Manchester United orLiverpool.

It's going to be difficult for him to say no to him.
