As is usually the case in the world of football transfers and the circus that comes with it, fans very quickly become impatient regarding their respective club's and their official announcements of new signings.
This is certainly the case with Manchester City supporters on social media at present, who are seemingly growing restless at the lack of announcement for the club's marquee summer signing of the now former Borussia Dortmund centre-forward, Erling Haaland.
However, with now less than one month until the player officially - in contract - becomes a Manchester City footballer, details surrounding exactly what the club have planned for Haaland and when fans can expect this to arrive have been revealed in a new report this week.

This information comes via The Athletic's Pol Ballus, who states that all the content for Erling Haaland's Manchester City unveiling is 'in the can and ready to go', with a source telling The Athletic, “As soon as he is a City player, the content will come."
It is however stressed, and much to the relief of Manchester City supporters around the globe and on social media that there are not thought to be any legal obstacles in terms of agreeing personal terms, or making further announcements before July 1 - the date on which Haaland is understood to officially become an Etihad Stadium athlete.
In terms of the details and logistics of Manchester City's planned unveiling of Haaland, the report reveals that a 'special unveiling event' dedicated to the Norway international is planned by the club, which will end in a 'meet and greet' - all of which will come after the various social media content is released, which may begin as early as the start of next week.

Due to Erling Haaland's international commitments with Norway taking place over the course of the next couple of weeks, and the player's holiday period of which he is entitled to, The Athletic stresses that Manchester City's marquee signing is not expected in the city again before the start of July.
Erling Haaland is expected to make his Manchester City debut during the club's pre-season tour of the United States, where Pep Guardiola's side are currently scheduled to play two fixtures; one against Mexican side Club America, and the second against a very familiar opponent for Haaland in Bayern Munich.
City also booked their place in the traditional curtain-raiser to the Premier League campaign after winning the English top-flight crown on the final day of last season, as they will take on Liverpool in the 2022 Community Shield at the King Power Stadium.
