Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has confirmed that he will not be signing a backup striker for Erling Haaland.
This decision comes after Julian Alvarez’s departure to Atletico Madrid in a transfer deal that could reach up to £81 million. Alvarez’s exit leaves Haaland as the only senior striker in City’s squad.
