Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has addressed the Erling Haaland situation, amid reports of a link between the Norwegian and Real Madrid.
Last week, reports from Spain suggested that the 23-year-old striker was unhappy with life in Manchester and was considering leaving the club this summer. Guardiola immediately reacted and refuted the rumors, saying it was an attempt to destabilize the striker. The Catalan manager was then asked again about Haaland’s situation.
Speaking to the media, Guardiola appeared slightly annoyed: “ For a journalist or a Twitter account, an Instagram account, do you think they will change anything? That’s not what’s going to happen. This will happen when Erling decides whether to extend his contract or not, when the club decides whether to extend a contract or not, or when we have potential offers for him or not. If someone wants Erling, it’s easy. Call Man City and ask. This is what we do when we want to sign someone. It’s not more complicated than that “.
” I don’t know “
When asked if the club wanted Haaland to stay, Guardiola replied: ” What do you think ? That we don’t want Erling to stay here for a decade? We want him to stay at this club for a long, long time. For a long time. We are in love with him, we want him.”
However, the Iberian coach admitted that he did not know what the future would bring. “ I don’t have any information. He arrived last season and his impact was incredible”did he declare. “At the start of this season the numbers were very good too. He was injured for two months. What will happen in the future? Honestly, I do not know. We’re happy to have him, and I hope he’s happy to be with us. This is what we know. And the rest ? I don’t know “.
