Haland scored 22 goals in 24 Bundesliga games last season and in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund he scored 29 times in 30 appearances. Nunez, by comparison, has scored 26 goals in 28 games in the Portuguese League, and has also scored twice in the Champions League, including both games against Liverpool. After scoring twice in Benfica’s quarter-final against the Reds, Klopp said: “An extremely good-looking boy, eh? And a decent player too! Very good, very good, you have to say that. “Physically strong, fast, plus calm at the end. When the goal ended, he was very calm. Good, really, very good. How do we say in these cases, if he stays healthy, he has a great career ahead of him.” Responding to questions from ESPN fans on Twitter, Onouha was asked if there was a chance Haaland could start with incoming City striker Julian Alvarez next season in a 3-5-2 formation. “There is always potential,” admitted the 35-year-old former defender. “But I can not see Pep [Guardiola] playing 3-5-2 with bomber backs. There may be a system that attacks, but it has not favored it much. “I think it would be good to see Alvarez have the opportunity to play, because he is almost like the forgotten man because he signed a long time ago, while everything is like Haaland, Haaland, Haaland. “I think there will be a lot of competition for places up there, but we will see how they do it and the fact is that they did not sign him. [Alvarez] for a year, so maybe they’re playing the big game with them. “ City are ready to take a closer look at Alvarez this season after joining River Plate in January, with the 22-year-old remaining in Argentina for the first half of 2022.
