The Norway international will link up with City for the start of next season after the Premier League champions agreed a £51million deal with Borussia Dortmund earlier this month.
The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the hottest properties in the game and City feel they have pulled off a coup in securing his services.
Speaking to the club’s website in his annual end-of-season interview, City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: “We have, in Haaland, arguably the best number nine in the world, at the right age.
“When you look at the next 10-15 years, in Haaland, we have invested in that striker for the future.
“We have been following his progression over the years and seen his transition from very talented, high-quality, high-potential player to one of the most, if not the most, exciting striker in the world.
“We are getting, truly I think, a phenomenal player that will give us great memories for our fans.
“He will fit very nicely for this group.”
