Manchester City‘s star striker Erling Haaland has been hinted at a move from the Premier League giants. There are rumours that the Norwegian can part ways with Pep Guardiola’s team in 2025.
The Norwegian is the 19th player for the English club to score 100 goals. Erling has scored 100 goals in 105 games as a Manchester City striker. He has equaled the record of Cristiano Ronaldo for scoring most goals in fewer club games.
Erling joined Manchester City in 2022 from German club Borussia Dortmund. The Premier League giants paid 60 million euros for the Norwegian. This deal was fruitful for the London club as the youngster has contributed immensely to the team through his performance.
The start of the 2024-2025 campaign has been good for Manchester City. They are currently in the third position of the Premier League table with 17 points. Haaland has been the club’s leading scorer with 11 goals for the team in 10 games across all competitions. This score tally includes Erling’s three hattricks this season.
Premier League’s top scorer in past seasons has hinted that his time in England is coming to an end. Erling has opened doors for offers from Spanish clubs. He has recently rejected Manchester City’s multi-million dollar offers to extend his contract. Haaland wants to explore new challenges.
The youngster has expressed his desire to explore options in Spain. There are many clubs that are looking to sign Manchester City’s star striker. The offers from teams like Paris Saint-Germain were also on the table but Haaland rejected them.
Erling declines the move to PSG
Erling Haaland is the type of player that no club will want to miss out on. The Parisian club Paris Saint-Germain tried to play their card to sign the striker.
PSG offered a lucrative multi-million deal to Manchester City to sign the striker. Erling has declined this offer as he prefers a move to Spain to be more challenging. Haaland is currently valued at a price tag of 200 million euros according to Transfermarkt.
There is no concrete news if PSG offered the deal to the attacker. Erling is one of the best players in the world and there could’ve been interest from Paris. A high-profile signing like Haaland is not the style of PSG boss Luis Enrique.
Spanish giants Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are also in the frame to make a deal with the Manchester City star. These La Liga giants will be keen on signing the Norwegian as he could be the one missing piece in their respective puzzles.
Manchester City star looks for challenges in Spain
Real Madrid have been linked with Erling Haaland before the arrival of Kylian Mbappe to the club. Los Blanco’s vision is to pair Haaland with Mbappe to create a formidable duo. This possibility could be troublesome as they already have a star-studded lineup of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham.
The La Liga Champions are most likely to make a deal with Erling as they have the biggest pocket in the Spanish Leagues. If Real Madrid goes ahead with the signing of the Norwegian they could become the strongest team in the world.
Barcelona are the second club that is most interested in signing the Premier League’s top striker. The only problem for the team is their financial limitations. They would look to release some players so that they could fund their purse for future signing. The club’s rich history might alter the decision of Haaland to make a move to Camp Nou.
Sporting director of the club Deco has kept a close eye on Haaland. He believes that signing Erling would be a dream acquirement of the club. The team’s current striker Robert Lewandowski is 36 years old. Haaland has the potential of being the perfect replacement for the Polish forward.
Erling Haaland’s decision to reject PSG’s offer is a hint that he’s ready for greater challenges. The striker has the desire to move to Spain. There are offers on the table from clubs that are keen on signing Haaland.
It would not be a cheap deal for the clubs as Erling’s contract with Manchester City expires in 2027. The next transfer window will decide if the Norwegian stays in the Premier League or moves to the Spanish league La Liga.
