MAnchester City lost to Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League and their chances of surviving in the competition are very slim. Guardiola’s team suffered a crushing defeat, and if they lose, some players will likely explore the possibility of leaving the club at the end of the season.
Erling Haaland is City’s star player, but there have always been rumors of a link between him and Barcelona, and the club have been eyeing him for several years. It was the Norwegian representative who spoke about his options regarding a possible departure from the Premier League.
Erling Haaland’s candid reaction to gift to Manchester City
Haaland’s agent talks about the possibility of a move to Barcelona
Erling Haaland’s representative Rafaela Pimenta spoke to El Chiringuito and explained the Norwegian’s plans for the end of the season.
We have a lot of respect and admiration for Barcelona, but we have not received any communication from the club or any of its (presidential) candidates regarding a transfer.
“Also, the player renewed his contract a few months ago, so he is very happy at Manchester City and there is nothing to talk about a transfer now that everything is going well,” Pimenta explained, clarifying all doubts in this regard.
Barcelona is looking for a new striker
Barcelona are already looking for a replacement for Lewandowski, and there is talk of Julian Alvarez as well as Haaland.
The Argentine striker is another big desire of the Catalan team, but his departure from Atletico Madrid will not be easy as he has a valid contract and a very expensive clause.
Barcelona’s future is uncertain. With elections approaching, the winner of the chairmanship will need to assess what his real options are for signing a new striker.
