According to reports, Erling Haaland’s future at Manchester City seems uncertain, with three top European clubs in an “intense battle” to sign him.
Haaland, who was signed by City from Borussia Dortmund for around £51 million before the 2022–23 season, has solidified his reputation as one of the world’s best goal scorers during his time at the club.
The 24-year-old forward has had a phenomenal start to the current season, scoring nine goals in five appearances across all competitions.
In total, he has netted 99 goals in 103 games for Manchester City. His current contract runs until 2027, but there are rumors that City is looking to extend it.
A new report from Spain suggests Haaland is interested in “new challenges” and that his next move could be to another country and club.
Barcelona is reportedly leading the race to sign him, but Real Madrid and PSG are also aggressively pursuing the Norwegian forward.
The report suggests Haaland’s price would start at around €120 million, a figure that doesn’t appear to deter the interested clubs.
Barcelona has already started making internal moves to bring Haaland to Camp Nou, recognizing that a top goal scorer is essential for reclaiming their dominance in Europe.
They may finance the deal through the potential sale of key players, hoping to convince Haaland that their project is the best fit for his career growth.
Real Madrid is also keen, viewing Haaland as the ideal number nine for their squad. Club president Florentino Pérez is eager to secure the Norwegian as a world-class addition to their attack.
Lastly, PSG is preparing a significant bid for Haaland, positioning themselves as a major contender in the race for his signature.
