England:
‘Guardian’: ‘City have signed the one A-list goalscorer who looks undeniably out of place. This is not to say that this move will be a failure. That would be crazy. Guardiola is a great manager who will work like mad to make it fit.”
The Times: “At 21, Erling Haaland is already a goal machine, a center forward who can create and destroy, a formidable athlete shaped by the genes of his athletic parents and his own work ethic. What will also alarm Manchester City’s rivals is that under Pep Guardiola’s tutelage he will only get better.”
“The Sun”: “Certainly the biggest transfer of the year.”
Spain:
“Marca”: “The name Haaland was also on the note at Real Madrid. But Kylian Mbappé is the first target. Real didn’t want to jeopardize Mbappé’s signing.”
“AS”: “The messing about has come to an end. One of the most sought after players is from the market. In the end, Real really didn’t want to.”
“Sport”: “City wins the race for the forward. It’s good news for Barcelona that Haaland hasn’t moved to Real.”
“El Mundo Deportivo”: “The Norwegian’s commitment is the first mega transfer of the summer.”
Italy:
“Gazzetta dello Sport”: “City, Haaland is coming! Guardiola can now finally count on a real striker in a way he hasn’t had in a year and a half. Haaland is the new jewel in Guardiola’s golden hands.”
“Corriere dello Sport”: “Speed, technique and willingness to make sacrifices: Haaland fully corresponds to Guardiola’s values.”
“La Repubblica”: “Guardiola looks to the future, the old prophet of Tiki Taka is looking for new strategies for success and relies on Haaland, the star striker that all top clubs have been courting.”
“La Stampa”: “The transfer market could not start more brilliantly. Manchester City sign the young star who, along with Mbappé, is considered the king of the younger generation of strikers.”
“Corriere della Sera”: “You can be sure that Mino Raiola, who died two weeks ago, is celebrating Haaland’s transfer in heaven. The rising star of world football will play on his father’s team.”
