Erling Haaland, with 29 goals in 39 games, has warned Manchester City he may leave if they miss next season Champions League. City sit fifth in the Premier League after elimination by Real Madrid. Real Madrid leads the race to sign Haaland, potentially if Vinícius Jr. or Rodrygo departs to free funds and space.
In the latest developments surrounding Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker has issued a warning to Manchester City regarding his future. Haaland, who has scored 29 goals in 39 matches this season, is reportedly frustrated with the club’s poor performance. After being knocked out of the Champions League playoffs by Real Madrid, City currently sits fifth in the Premier League, trailing Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea. With only nine matchdays left, their Champions League qualification is in serious jeopardy.
Haaland has made it clear to the Manchester City board that failing to secure a Champions League spot for next season will force him to consider leaving the club this summer. This has attracted the attention of Real Madrid, who are monitoring the situation closely. However, a potential move to Madrid would likely depend on the departure of either Vinícius Jr. or Rodrygo to free up space and generate transfer funds.
At just 24, Haaland remains one of Europe’s most prolific forwards, but his personal achievements aren’t translating into team success, increasing doubts over his future at City. With his ambition to compete at the highest level, Haaland’s possible exit could spark a major transfer saga in the upcoming window.
