Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to speak about Erling Haaland’s situation at the club. He recently had his say amid reports connecting the Norwegian with Real Madrid, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the lies in the media will not change the current reality for Haaland at Manchester City, and he would only leave the club anytime soon if he decides to not extend his contract.
Pep added that Man City would love to have Erling around for a decade because he has been incredible since he joined.
His words, “For one report, for one journalist or one Twitter account, one Instagram account, do you think they are going to change something that is going to happen? It’s not going to happen. It’s going to happen when Erling decides to extend the contract or not, when the club decides to extend a contract or not, or when we have potential offers to him or not. If someone wants Erling, it’s easy. Call Man City and ask. It’s what we do when we want to sign someone. It’s not more complicated than that.”
What do you think? That we don’t want Erling to stay here for one decade? We want him – for a long, long time at this club. For a long time. We are in love with him, we want him.
I don’t have info. He arrived last season and the impact was incredible. The beginning of this season, the numbers were really good too. He’s had two months injured. What happens in the future? Honestly, I don’t know. We are happy to have him, hopefully, he’s happy to be with us. That is what we know. And the rest? I don’t know.”
WOW.
Erling Braut Haaland is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester City and the Norway national team.
