Erling Haaland arrived at Manchester City in 2022 for a measly reported fee of £51m and their Premier League rivals are becoming increasingly desperate for the freakish goalscoring machine to leave for pastures new. Luckily for City’s foes, Pep Guardiola’s side have the small matter of over 100 charges of alleged Financial Fair Play breaches hanging over their shoulders and this could speed up Haaland’s exit. Even without these charges, Haaland’s exit became a hot topic virtually as soon as he signed for Man City .
Especially in Spain as their agenda-influenced media attempts to drum up speculation. While Haaland’s reported transfer stance tends to be overly-dramatised, it does feel like he – a la Jude Bellingham – already has his next career steps mapped out in his head and he’s likely to tick off a few more elite European leagues before he calls time on his career. Over the past month alone, Haaland has been linked with five elite European clubs.
So, naturally, we have decided to rank these interested teams on their chances of signing the Man City superstar...
