De Bruyne sends Haaland warning to Man City rivals

Following the signing of Erling Haaland, Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne has issued a warning to their Premier League title opponents.

The 21-year-old is thought to have agreed to a five-year deal with City, with a weekly wage of £400,000 plus bonuses.

Last season, Pep Guardiola’s team scored 99 goals in 38 Premier League games, and they have now acquired a striker who scored 86 goals in 89 appearances for Dortmund.

“Erling Haaland is one of the best strikers in the world. His decision should aid our team’s development.

Everybody expects a lot. They’ve always been looking for a number nine, but I think it’ll be good to have that striker that maybe scores 20-25 goals a season,” De Bruyne told HLN.

He added: “Maybe (Haaland’s arrival might help me too). There have been years that I have more assists. But my chance creation and other things have remained consistent. Numbers are a part of football but they never tell you the full story.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
