The prolific goal scorer from Manchester City, who joined the club from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 on a five-year contract, has indicated that while he is currently content at Etihad Stadium, he is also open to considering other options in the future.
During a press conference on Tuesday, the Norwegian expressed his happiness with his current surroundings, mentioning his satisfaction with the manager, directors, and board. However, he also hinted at the possibility of change in the future, stating, I am really happy I have to say. I say this now, it will probably be a massive headline, tomorrow you never know what the future brings but I am happy. You can write this but you also have to write everything I said before. I am happy.”
Regarding the prospect of a new contract with City, Haaland emphasized his current focus on the pitch, particularly with upcoming matches including a recent derby and the upcoming Champions League and Premier League fixtures against Copenhagen and Liverpool, respectively.
Reports have linked the 23-year-old with a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid, with suggestions of a potential release clause in his contract that could be activated by clubs outside of England in the summer of 2024. However, the possibility of Real Madrid paying a significant transfer fee, rumored to be around £200m ($252m), remains uncertain, especially after securing the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.
For the time being, Haaland remains committed to his responsibilities at City, focusing on the upcoming matches against Copenhagen in the Champions League and Premier League leaders Liverpool.
