Erling Haaland is expected to be a key figure in the upcoming 2025 transfer window, especially in the event of Pep Guardiola’s departure from Manchester City upon the conclusion of his contract in June.
The potential change could motivate the club to present Haaland with a profitable contract to ensure his continued presence.
Recently, Haaland rejected a significant offer from a Saudi Arabian club and chose to stay in Europe’s competitive leagues. Presently engaged in a contract with City until 2027, negotiations are taking place regarding a salary adjustment to position him as one of the top earners in the Premier League.
Nonetheless, Manchester City is confronted with uncertainty as a result of over 100 purported financial fair play infractions, potentially putting their league standing at risk.
FC Barcelona is eager to take advantage of this opportunity, as president Joan Laporta envisions acquiring Haaland in 2025.
The transfer process is anticipated to be complex due to the interest of other clubs, such as Real Madrid, in the striker, whose release clause is projected to be approximately €150 million.
