For Haaland the move is also a personal one as his father, Alf-Inge, played for City from 2000 to 2003.

“This is a proud day for me and my family,” said Haaland after completing the move.

“I have always watched City and have loved doing so in recent seasons. You can’t help but admire their style of play, it’s exciting and they create a lot of chances, which is perfect for a player like me.

“There are so many world-class players in this squad and Pep is one of the greatest managers of all-time, so I believe I am in the right place to fulfil my ambitions.

“I want to score goals, win trophies and improve as a footballer and I am confident I can do that here. This is a great move for me and I can’t wait to get started in pre-season.”

Meanwhile, the league runners-up and FA Cup champions, have confirmed that they have agreed to terms for the Benfica forward Darwin Nunez.
