Before you begin, yes, I understand. I don’t want to lose our star striker ever, let alone after only 18 months of service, but the fact is we should always consider an offer. Rumors speculate that Erling Haaland and Borussia Dortmund agreed to an exit clause of around $75 million, but it does not activate until the summer of 2022. So why should we sell now?
Haaland has been steadfast in saying that he is very happy and comfortable at Borussia Dortmund, and we have no reason to think that he is lying. However, there is a chance that BVB could miss out on Champions League football next year, and not only will that hurt the club financially, but that may well change the star strikers mind on how comfortable he really is with

Pep Guardiola has spoken of his admiration for David Moyes as he prepares to face the experienced West Ham manager this weekend.
Manchester City boss Guardiola has been impressed by the Hammers’ transformation under Moyes since the Scot returned to the club for a second spell midway through last season.

WEST Ham are sitting pretty in fourth place after their seventh win in nine games last week when they overcame London rivals Tottenham 2-1.
The Hammers manager David Moyes said after the win last week that “they haven’t hit top gear yet” and that “my players can play much better”.
Well, his players have the chance to prove themselves when they visit league leaders Man City in today’s early game.
After Man City today, Moyes will see his side take on Man Utd, Leeds and Arsenal in their next three league games and if they can emerge from those games with something to shout about, then these will indeed be exciting times for the claret and blue of West Ham, with Champions League football a real possibility next term.
Joao Cancelo is the non-secret weapon of an imperious Man City side
25th February 2021
Philip Lahm, Daniel Alves, David Alaba – it’s now time to add Joao Cancelo to the list of Pep Guardiola’s converted full-backs.
Cancelo arrived at Manchester City in the summer of 2019, and his underwhelming debut season led many to conclude he was simply another indulgence of Guardiola’s full-back addiction.
The doubters couldn’t have been more wrong. During City’s current run of 19 wins in all competitions, which has seen them all but wrap up the league title, Cancelo has re-invented himself as the team’s principal playmaker in the absence of Kevin de Bruyne.
