Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has laughed off reports linking Erling Haaland with a move to Barcelona. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fake reports should be ignored completely because Haaland is not stupid enough to consider leaving Man City after signing a decade-long deal.
Pep added that he understands Barcelona wanting to sign a striker like Erling because many clubs would want a finisher like him around.
His words, “I think Erling isn’t stupid enough to sign something he doesn’t want to accomplish, that is for sure.
But it’s football, who knows what is going to happen. Nobody knows. Honestly, I don’t know what is going to happen. I know he has a long contract here, and I think he’s doing really well and scoring a lot of goals.
Can you tell me one club that wouldn’t dream of Erling Haaland?
I understand Barcelona dream of Erling, and all the clubs in the world. If Erling would not be with us it would be a dream for Man City have Erling. I had the feeling the team helps him a lot and gives him a lot of actions where he is able to score a goal.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
