Haaland narrows down his next destination after Manchester City
Real Madrid is ‘best positioned’ to bring in Erling Haaland if he decides to leave Manchester City. The Citizens were earlier accused of breaching the financial fair play rules and were hit by recently hit with 115 charges relating to a period between 2009 and 2018.
Man City has openly denied all charges, but if proven guilty could face serious repercussions. It has also been reported that numerous players and staff, including Pep Guardiola could leave for new clubs if the club the guilty.
Haaland’s time at the Etihad
The Norwegian exploded onto the scene in England as he has already scored 25 goals in 21 games in the Premier League so far. He has already broken a few Premier league records and is en route to breaking the record for most goals in a single Premier League season set by Mohamed Salah (32).
However, given the situation at the club, Haaland will waste no time leaving Etihad. As of now, Haaland only has two clubs in mind, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Despite numerous clubs being interested in the Norwegian, the Striker has himself termed it as a ‘dream’ to play in Spain.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen to get Haaland especially after failing to bring in Kylian Mbappe to the club. Haaland is known to have a ‘release clause’ in his contract which gets activated in the summer of 2024.
What does Haaland think?
Erling Haaland is ‘clear about his next destination’ with Los Blancos and the Blaugrana being the only suitable options.
According to reports that ‘the possible sanction’ on Man City could accelerate the chances of his departure ‘ahead of time’ with Haaland aiming for silverware.
What did Arsene Wenger say about the club?
The legendary manager said that there have been a few tactical tweaks in the team since Haaland joined.
While talking to beIN Sports Wenger said: “Poor is maybe a big word.
“He makes Manchester City a different team. A different team, why? Because now with Haaland they win the ball a little less quickly back and when they win the ball they go more quickly to find him.
“Before they were a bit more patient interchanging and the combination game was maybe more patient and shorter and technically different. Today, they rely more on crosses on direct play with Haaland. We speak about City, you could have the same conversation with Liverpool.”
