Being a "burden in the dressing room" for Erling Haaland may indicate Man City exit issues.
Erling Haaland has scored 15 goals for Man City, who are once again in position to win the title this season, in just 10 games, including three hat-tricks.
During the match versus Liverpool, Erling Haaland failed to score.
Erling Haaland may not have scored in Manchester City's weekend loss to Liverpool, but his first Premier League season has been nothing short of amazing.
In just 10 outings for the Citizens, who are once again in position to win the title this season, Haaland has scored 15 goals, including three hat-tricks.
The 22-year-old Norway international is swiftly emerging as one of the top players in the world, and City are aware that retaining him at the club for the long run will be challenging given the interest he is receiving from clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG.
The fact that Haaland has a Ł200 million release clause that kicks in from the summer of 2024 makes the situation possibly much more difficult for City.
Only teams outside of the Premier League are affected, although by then Haaland may already be considering La Liga as his next opponent.
Alf-Inge, the striker's father, recently talked about his son's future in the film "Haaland: The Big Decision," admitting that he eventually wants to leave City.
"I believe Erling wants to demonstrate his skills across all leagues," he stated. After that, he may only remain at Manchester City for a maximum of three or four years.
For Man City, Erling Haaland has been in outstanding form.
He might spend, for instance, 2.5 years in Germany, 2.5 years in England, and then 2.5 years in Spain, Italy, or France, am I correct?
I believe City to be the best squad on our list "said he. "Munich, [Bayern], is in second place. The third-ranked team is Real Madrid, and the fourth-ranked team is Paris Saint-Germain." In addition to City, there are other excellent English teams. Chelsea and Liverpool. There is Barcelona as well. They are arranged in a similar row."
City still have some time before they have to consider the possibility of losing their treasured possession, but the tale that is in store for them in 2024 might be very difficult.
Sebastian Kehl, the sporting director at Borussia Dortmund, is well aware of how unusual the situation will be because he had a similar drama just last summer.
Erling Haaland started to feel like a "burden" in the Dortmund locker room.
Haaland's Ł51 million transfer to City was overseen by Kehl, who asserts that the entire ordeal made the striker somewhat of a "weight" on the locker room.
As much as we always admired Haaland and he was successful with us, in the end he became a burden on the dressing room, the club, and the entire environment, Kehl told the German daily Sport Bild.
Every talk now centered on him.
Outside the club, he was the subject of practically everything. In the end, the transfer's timing suited both parties. And we are all pleased for Erling that he is still doing so well.
