The Norwegian striker from Manchester City voluntarily cultivates vagueness around his future in England. A situation which is starting to annoy across the Channel.
If Kylian Mbappé fueled the hottest soap opera of the summer by refusing to extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain until 2025, the one presented as his generational competitor seems to be taking the same path in terms of communication.
Arriving at Manchester City a year ago from Borussia Dortmund, Erling Haaland is linked to the British club until 2027. But he does not seem in a hurry to return to the Sky Blues. This is the message he wanted to convey in an interview with the Telegraph this week.
“ How long is my contract? Three years and 10 months? So, there’s still time to do it, right (referring to the record)?», Launched Haaland, visibly amused by the situation. What to consider leaving in the near future? “I did not say that ! It’s something you can’t think about. You have to think about the next match, the season and then these thoughts arrive after a while. But if I stay in England for another 15 years, why not? We will see.»
Haaland voluntarily maintains vagueness around his future
How to interpret this output? Aware of his market value, Erling Haaland approaches the theme of his future with a lightness which contrasts with his superstar status within the best club in England. In the player’s clan, the idea of seeing the striker multiply his experiences in the various major European championships has often leaked in recent years. But Haaland is not ruling out any option, including spending many years in the north of England.
One thing is certain: Manchester City fans are still trembling at the idea of losing their goal machine…
