Manchester City are said to be getting ready for Erling Haaland potentially departing the Premier League champions in 2025.
Major changes are expected at City in the coming summer, especially with director of football Txiki Begiristain planning to leave by the end of the season.
The club is currently facing a significant challenge in resolving the 115 Premier League charges related to financial misconduct.
Pep Guardiola has not yet signed a contract extension, and several key players’ contracts are expiring in 2025.
While transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has advised against assuming Barcelona’s intentions for the 2025 transfer window, Haaland remains a top target for the club.
With various factors at play, Guardiola’s potential departure could result in additional departures from the team.
Reports from Football365 suggest that City has possibly pinpointed a successor for Haaland. Viktor Gyokeres, who has netted 54 goals in 60 games since his arrival at Sporting Lisbon last year, has garnered interest from individuals at the Etihad Stadium.
If Haaland stays in Manchester, the situation may change as Barcelona is also evaluating Gyokeres as a potential addition to bolster their offensive capabilities.
