Premier League followers are on alert: a little sentence slipped by Erling Haaland makes them fear his departure for Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Erling Haaland was not wrong. As he expected, his comments made this Tuesday at a press conference made the headlines in the English press. In front of the microphones on the eve of the Champions League match against Copenhagen, the Norwegian spoke about his future, ensuring that he was fully fulfilled at Manchester City but also taking care to point out that anything could happen.
“I’m really happy, especially with the people around me, the coach, the management, the board, it’s an extraordinary group of people and I’m really happy, I have to say. If I say this now, it will probably make headlines… Tomorrow you never know what the future holds, but I’m happy, he explained. You can write this but you also have to write everything I said before. I am happy. »
A call to the foot to Real
The Premier League’s top scorer has therefore repeated several times that he is happy at City, but the little sentence on the theme of a surprise is always possible crushes everything, for the English press. “Hala Madrid”, headlines the Sun, in reference to the motto of Merengue supporters. Same story in the columns of the Mirror, who see in these declarations “Erli’s Warning”or from the Telegraph, for whom the Mancunian striker launched a call to Real Madrid.
Under contract with Manchester City until 2027, Erling Haaland would nevertheless have had a release clause included in his contract allowing him to leave the Citizens next summer as long as a courtier, primarily Real Madrid, pays the 175 million euros claimed.
