Pep Guardiola refuses to exclude the release of Erling Haaland in the middle of Barcelona’s interest
Manchester City director Pep Guardiola has now commented on rumors binding its star in front with a move to Spain.
Although Erling Haaland has signed a long -term contract recently, he continues to be linked to an outing, forcing the Spanish director to comment on the situation with an answer that could have left Man City fans concerned.
Addressing the media before Brentford’s match, Guardiola said (as quoted by Sport):
“Tell me a single club for which it would not be a dream of having Erling Haaland. I understand that it is a dream for Barcelona to have it. If he was not with us, he would also be a dream for City.
“What will happen?” Honestly, I don’t know. He has a long contract here. I think it is fine; He scores a lot of goals, he always wants to improve, always wants to create more chances to score even more goals. I think Erling is not stupid enough to sign something he does not want to achieve. This is sure – but in football, who knows what could happen in the future?
