Reportedly, Manchester City is persuading Erling Haaland to sign a new contract. But this has not yet reached a consensus and it will probably take quite a long time for Erling Haaland to agree. I think this is all because of rumors that Erling Haaland was linked with Real Madrid a few weeks ago and I think what Manchester City is currently doing is a form of protection for this great player.
Of course Manchester City will try to anticipate pressure from outside and again their opponent is Real Madrid and we know that all players dream of playing for the best club in the world, including Erling Haaland. Is this an emergency step that Manchester City is trying to take so that its striker can stay longer at the Etihad Stadium?
Well that's a new one and I haven't heard yet from any other strong sources so still could be a rumour coming out of thin air. Doesn't makes sense to be honest to persuade when his contract was done just a year ago. Also he still has lot years left on his contract about like 4 years more and City should right now relaxed instead of getting worried over interest on Haaland from other clubs. Also he doesn't strikes me as a type of guy to worry about money and he is still young and is more focused on his game rather than getting worried about money and all. I would choose to believe it if comes out from strong multiple sources.
