Rumors of Real Madrid’s interest in Erling Haaland are growing in Spain. Pep Guardiola assures that his star player does not want to leave the Citizens.
Historically, the best players on the planet are likely to sign for Real Madrid. And Erling Haaland falls into this category. More and more frequently, the Madrid press mentions the possibility that the Norwegian striker will join the Merengue club.
Asked about this, Pep Guardiola considers that his center forward has no desire to leave. “I don’t know, you have to ask the media in Madrid. Maybe they have more information than us. We don’t have the feeling that he is unhappy. He was because he couldn’t play for two months because he was injured, but maybe the Spanish media, and especially the Madrid ones, have more information than us.”explained the Manchester City coach on Thursday evening, after his team’s victory (3-1) against Burnley.
“With him, we are a better team”
During this meeting, Haaland made his return to competition. “If the score had been 7-0 at halftime, he would have played more minutes. If it had been 0-0, he might not have played a single minute. I don’t know. So I didn’t really have a plan before the match. But it was 3-0, he played 25 minutes for the first time and I saw him in great shape. I felt he was there. He didn’t have any clear chances, but had three or four. He can score at any time. This is the quality of Erling. The last two months have been very good without him, but with him we are a better team and we are very happy that he is back”said Pep Guardiola after the success of the Citizens.
The former Borussia Dortmund player returned to the field after two months of absence due to a foot injury during a match with Norway.
