Manchester City wants to reserve Erling Haaland

Manchester City lost Argentine Julián Alvarez to Atlético de Madrid at the start of the season in a deal worth over 75 million euros. However, since the youngster left Pep Guardiola’s team, a gap has been left in the squad.

Julián was the only available backup for the team’s star player, Erling Haaland. With that, the English team is already looking at the transfer market in search of a name that has the quality to be the shadow of the best center forward in the world.

However, according to information from the Fichajes portal, the team is already looking for a player to fill the vacancy. It is center forward Samu Omorodion , from Porto. At 20 years old, the youngster has started the season in an overwhelming way, and is standing out as one of the big names in European football.

This season, Haaland has scored 11 goals for City. Samu, playing for Porto, has scored seven goals so far. The numbers clearly show the quality of the attacking duo.

The 20-year-old striker, who previously played for Atlético de Madrid, was in very advanced negotiations to join Chelsea in the last transfer window. However, the talks were cancelled due to the final details of the contract.

Now sold to Porto after his failure with the Blues, the Spaniard has already won over the fans. Alongside Sporting’s Viktor Gyökeres, the duo stand out as the big names in Portuguese football in the 2024/25 season.
