What’s bothering Haaland?
- City’s poor sporting performances this season (only 6th place in the Premier League and early out of the Champions League)
- The threatening criminal case of financial cheating that can lead to points deduction or relegation
- The uncertainty surrounding Pep Guardiola’s future as manager
The verdict is expected soon
Manchester City are now awaiting the verdict in the much-discussed financial case, where the club is accused of 130 breaches of financial rules between 2009-2023. A possible conviction could lead to:
✔️ Massive points deduction
✔️ Potential relegation from the Premier League
Where can Haaland end up?
According to reports, these clubs are ready to go in for Haaland:
💰 PSG
💰 Bayern Munich
💰 Real Madrid (has long been interested)
💰 Barcelona (has also been following him closely)
Background for the frustration
- Haaland recently signed a contract until 2034, but has never seen City as a long-term stop
- Has already won everything with City (2x PL, Champions League)
- Spanish media claim he wants La Liga experience next
Statistics that entice buyers
📊 90 goals in 98 games in his first two seasons
