Erling Haaland, a standout for Manchester City, is to leave the team after only one season at Etihad.
The Norwegian has has scored 25 Premier League goals in just 28 games during his time with Manchester City. Haaland skipped the World Cup as well and was ready to go when the season resumed on Boxing Day.
Joao Cancelo’s shocking transfer to Bayern Munich has fueled rumours of unrest among the club’s inner circle.
Haaland and his relationship with Pep Guardiola is allegedly “starting to crack” because the two have a “very distant relationship,”. The forward is “already questioning his decision by going to the Etihad Stadium.”
Ex-City star Dietmar Hamann has even told talkSPORT that he doesn’t believe Guardiola ever wanted to sign the Scandi goal god, claiming, “I never thought he was going to go to City because he’s a player Guardiola never wanted.”

Relationship between Guardiola and Haaland
According to National, Haaland and Guardiola have a “bad” relationship. And he wants a “change of scenery” before his €200 million release clause becomes active in 2024. “If you consider in pay and price,” CBS Sports’ Ben Jacobs recently told CaughtOffside, “it’s probably just PSG who could afford Haaland.”
The Athletic reports that City believe they have the Premier League’s investigation under control. So it is unlikely that Haaland is concerned enough to want to leave over something that might not be an issue for months, if at all, if his employers are, despite the rumours of discontent and the rumours that Bernardo Silva may well leave City in the coming months.
Haaland, who joined City with the intention of “learning,” is only 22 years old. Any allegations of unhappiness should be anticipated from Spanish media outlets. Since Barcelona and Real Madrid both want the striker. Although he has had trouble adjusting to Guardiola’s style of play, his productivity has been tremendous this season, and City would be devastated to lose a player they believe to be Galactico-caliber after just a year.
Haaland is of €170 million.
