The terms the Norwegian agreed to when he joined Borussia Dortmund in December 2019 are said to be worth £132,000-a-week, or just over £6.8m ($9m) per year. The Bundesliga outfit signed Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg for a fee in the region of €20 million (£17 million).

His contract at Dortmund was due to expire in 2024, but City have secured the signing of the powerful striker after interest from elsewhere, including Real Madrid. In his spell with Dortmund, Haaland found the back of the net 85 times in 88 games, and also registered 23 assists.

Replacing Agüero

Injuries hindered the Argentinian in his final two seasons at the club before went on to join Barcelona. Haaland has also had his fair share of injuries and will be hoping to avoid those in his first season as he becomes the new focal point in the City attack.
