WHY HE STANDS OUT & WHY CITY CAN’T LET GO OF HIM:
Haaland’s incredible physicality, clinical finishing, and goal-scoring consistency make him a nightmare for defenders. With his towering height of 194cm and lethal left foot, Haaland dominates both in the air and on the ground.
Even at such a young age, Haaland has achieved milestones that most players can only dream of, making him the undisputed star of Manchester City’s attack.
FUN FACT: Haaland hasn’t scored from a free kick yet, proving he doesn’t need set pieces to be prolific!
Manchester City fans will hope the rumors about his €100 million release clause remain just that—a rumor. For now, Haaland continues to dominate in sky blue, chasing both records and trophies.
