Erling Haaland will not leave Manchester City anytime soon, according to TBR.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are among the clubs keen on a deal for the Norway international striker, who has established himself as one of the best in his position and is a superstar at Man City.
Journalist Graeme Bailey said: “City sources originally said that with the new nine-year deal running to 2034, his previous clauses had been removed.
“But sources close to the deal – and at Barca and Real – think there are still some clauses in there.
“And let’s not forget every major deal Haaland has signed has had clauses.
“So, let’s see how this plays out. But when we’re talking about clauses, we’re not expecting Haaland to leave in the next 18 months.
“Barcelona have accepted that he’s likely to be at City beyond 2026. He is still their long-term dream target, but right now, he’s fully focused on the season.
“Haaland’s been brilliant for City so far – 13 goals in 10 games. He’s almost at 150 goals for the club and hasn’t even played 160 games yet. He also has his first major international championships coming with Norway next summer.
“So, for now, nothing’s imminent, but in 18 months’ time, it could become a real talking point. Haaland is always going to be a fascinating figure in both the Premier League and European football.
“And yes, my sources confirm there are clauses in his contract that could play a part in his future down the line.”
