According to rumors, Man City striker Erling Haaland is currently thinking about his future with the Citizens having trouble in the Premier League. Haaland, who has scored 30 goals in 40 games across all competitions this season, has reportedly been growing impatient with the Man City project despite Pep Guardiola recently signing a new deal, according to reports in Spain over the past few months.
Rodri’s injury has really hurt Man City’s prospects of winning the title this time around, as they have fallen to fifth place in the standings. Arne Slot’s team is a very different power this season, and they are 21 points behind Premier League champions Liverpool. Because of their dismal performance this season, there were rumors that Haaland would think about joining Real Madrid or Barcelona during the summer transfer window.
Nonetheless, Haaland was overjoyed to have committed his future to the reigning Premier League champions when Man City announced in February that the Norway international had inked a new nine-and-a-half-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.
Erling Haaland disappointed with Manchester City
Haaland is reportedly “already considering his future” and may make a “surprise” summer departure from the Etihad Stadium, according to reports in Spain. Their current Premier League standing has “raised alarm bells” for the Man City striker, as the Norway international is “beginning to question his continued presence at the Etihad Stadium.”
Guardiola’s team is currently in fifth place in the Premier League standings and faces the possibility of eliminating all chance of qualifying for the Champions League following Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United.
While seventh-place Newcastle is one point behind the Citizens but, crucially, has two games left to play against Man City, sixth-place Aston Villa is one point behind and within striking distance of the Citizens.
The statement clarifies that “competing at the highest level, winning major titles, and competing in the Champions League every year” are Haaland’s non-negotiable objectives. Although Man City has “no intention of letting their star player leave” despite interest from other teams, Haaland “may make a drastic decision and force his departure” if the problem worsens.
