EPL Transfer: Manchester City In Shock Move For Chelsea midfielder, Kovacic
Since joining Chelsea from Real Madrid in 2019, Kovacic has made over 200 appearances, helping the Blues win the Champions League and Europa League.
Kovacic was a key member of Chelsea’s squad last season, appearing in 37 games across all competitions, but the Blues are selling a lot of players as they try to cut a bloated squad that finished 12th in the Premier League last season.
Kovacic may have also pressed Chelsea’s hand, given he was expected to join Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium.
As a result, he reached a personal agreement with the Champions League holders earlier this month and will now undergo a physical at City.

How Man United Failed To Sign Haaland For Just £4 Million – Solskjaer
If Manchester United had listened to the club’s previous manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they might have acquired Erling Haaland from Norwegian club Molde for just £4 million.
For Manchester City, Haaland is currently breaking records and scoring goals, but the result may have been different in 2018 if Manchester United had taken Solskjaer’s advise.
When the former United player and manager coached the kid at Molde between 2015 and 2018, he became aware of Haaland’s lethal goal-scoring talent.
EPL: Man Utd To Use Ronaldo To Lure Haaland To Old Trafford Next Year
Haaland’s goal-scoring prowess so impressed Solskjaer that he had to call Manchester United and compel them to purchase the gifted Norwegian striker for under £4 million.
The fact that United disregarded his advise led to Haaland finally signing with RB Salzburg, moving to Dortmund, and then being acquired by Manchester City for £50 million in the summer of 2022.
He is currently regarded as the most valuable striker in the world and is estimated to be worth approximately £200 million in addition to being the finest striker in the world.
“I called United about six months before I took over and told them that I’d got this striker that we had,” said Solskjaer as quoted by TalkSport.
“But they didn’t listen.
“I asked for £4m for Haaland but they didn’t sign him.”
Amid Threat Of Points Deduction, Relegation, Haaland Set To Leave Manchester City
The fans of United, who have witnessed their club struggle for the majority of the season due to an inconsistent number 9, will be greatly hurt by this revelation.
Marcus Rashford, who has scored 29 goals for Manchester United so far this season, primarily plays as a winger. While supposed club number nine Wout Weghorst has only managed to score twice in 27 games.
Erling Haaland, a 22-year-old player, has scored 51 goals in 47 games in all competitions this season after scoring 35 goals in the Premier League alone.
Erik Ten Hag is now looking for a top striker to buy this summer while Manchester City continues to benefit from the services of Haaland, Manchester United’s coach.

Police Are Looking Into Possible Driving Offenses Involving Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, is currently the subject of a police investigation after it appeared that he was texting while operating a vehicle.
The Norwegian striker, 22, was reportedly using the gadget while operating a £300,000 Rolls Royce. The incident took place in New Islington, a Manchester neighborhood near the Etihad. Later that day, he was seen driving the same vehicle.

The Greater Manchester Police has now confirmed he’s being investigated. A spokesperson said, “I can confirm that GMP is aware of the image and is investigating.”

Manchester City Has Entered The Osimhen Contest
Despite having one of the finest strikers in the world on their roster, Manchester City are interested in signing Nigeria international Victor Osimhen.
This season, Osimhen is having one of the greatest seasons of his career with Napoli, leading the Italian Serie A scoring list with 19 goals, five more than Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, who is in second place with 14 goals.

The former Lille man’s excellent goal-scoring record is one of the reasons Luciano Spalleti’s team is 18 points ahead of second-place Inter Milan and on set to win the Italian league title for the first time in over three decades.
The Super Eagles forward has three years left in his contract at the Stadio Amando Maradona, but following a decent campaign so far, a number of European clubs have been linked with securing his services in the summer, with Manchester United one of the favourites to land the striker.
Napoli have on several occasions insisted that the Nigerian is not for sal, but that has not stopped top European clubs from making inquiries about the players.
However, according to recent claims by transfer guru, Florian Plettenberg, the Premier League champions have also joined in the race for the Eagles striker, despite having Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez in their ranks.
“Been told City, #CFC, #PSG & #MUFC are all in! Different talks took place. #MCFC inquired, although they have Haaland/Alvarez. No topic for Bayern. A transfer fee of at least €100 million is not feasible,” he wrote on Twitter.
