A particularly fascinating report tonight (Friday) from the British “Daily Mail”. The media reported that Manchester City had reached an agreement with Arling Holland on the Norwegian striker’s arrival at the English champions, when the parties discussed personal terms and Holland is expected to sign with the English champions.
City and Dortmund have reached basic deals on a deal around the Dutch release clause, with the total deal amount likely to reach more than £ 100 million given the signing bonus and payment to agent Mino Raiola.
City have made the Netherlands their top priority, given that the team needs a natural striker. Real Madrid is the leading candidate to sign the 21-year-old Norwegian from Dortmund, but he prefers to join the English league. Holland Alfi’s father played for City for three years.
The Netherlands, who is struggling with injuries this season and has not played in his team’s recent games, has scored 80 goals in 79 Bundesliga appearances for Borussia Dortmund and is considered one of the best players in the world.
