Like Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland is tipped to sign for Real Madrid. Except that Pep Guardiola absolutely does not want to see his top scorer 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 of the Norwegian striker joining the Merengue club.
Asked again about this, Pep Guardiola was very clear. “Do you think that a rumor, a journalist, a Twitter or Instagram account can have an impact on what will happen? No. We will see when Erling decides to extend his contract or not, when the club decides to extend his contract or not, or when we have offers or not for him. If someone wants Erling, it’s easy. Just call Manchester City and ask. This is how we operate when we want to recruit a player. It’s not more complicated than that”declared the Spanish technician, at a press conference, on the sidelines of Manchester City’s trip to Brentford.
“We are in love with him”
Relaunched about his desire to keep the Norwegian striker, Guardiola got a little annoyed. ” In your opinion ? We don’t want to see him here for a decade? We want him to stay at this club for a very long time. For a really long time. We are in love with him, we want him more than anything. But how will the future unfold? Honestly, I do not know. We are happy to have him, I hope he is happy with us. The rest ? I don’t know “concluded the former FC Barcelona coach.
Erling Haaland recently returned to the field after two months of absence due to a foot injury during a match with Norway. Since the start of the season, he has already scored 22 goals in all competitions.
