Manchester City have placed themselves in a real “shitstorm” after over a hundred breaches of the Financial Fair Play rules. Now the rivals are circling around, looking for an opportunity to “catch” the biggest stars, if the exits come. Erling Haaland is on the wish list of the biggest clubs (except Bayern Munich), but we take note of a potential link to Arsenal. Think Haaland and Ødegaard on the same club team!
On the day Erling Haaland leaves City, the arrow is pointing towards La Liga, but transfer journalist Graham Bailey points out that reigning Premier League champions Arsenal have the financial backbone – and interest – to carry a Haaland signing.

“Our understanding is that the timeline – regardless of a relegation to City – was that Haaland and his camp were looking at 2027 [for a transfer], because there is a break between major [international] competitions,” Bailey begins.
“I was told by an Arsenal source [that] if a player like Haaland comes on the market – as they are one of the biggest clubs in Europe – they will be interested. And obviously, as we know, they are looking for a striker. They spent the whole summer trying to sign Julian Alvarez, so no doubt they also have the money, if they are going to do it,” the transfer journalist explains.
