Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed confidence in Erling Haaland’s commitment to the club, dismissing speculation about the player’s potential departure. According to Guardiola, Haaland is dedicated to staying at the Etihad Stadium for the long term.
The Norway international has been linked to several top European clubs, including Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, Guardiola believes Haaland is committed to fulfilling his contract with Manchester City, which reportedly runs until the summer of 2027.
“I think Erling is not stupid enough to sign a long contract he would not like to accomplish. That’s for sure,” Guardiola stated. He also acknowledged the uncertainty inherent in the sport, noting that “who knows what is going to happen next time? Nobody knows!”
Haaland’s contract with Manchester City has been a subject of interest, given his impressive performances and the attention he has received from other top clubs. Despite the speculation, Guardiola’s comments suggest that Haaland is focused on his current team and has no immediate plans to leave.
Manchester City, the former Premier League champions, have been working to retain their key players and build a strong team for the upcoming season. Haaland’s commitment to the club is seen as a significant factor in their plans, given his contribution to the team’s success.
As the football season progresses, Manchester City and their fans will be watching Haaland’s performance closely, hoping that he will continue to deliver impressive results and help the team achieve their goals. With Guardiola’s reassurance about Haaland’s commitment, the focus can now shift to the team’s upcoming matches and their bid to reclaim the Premier League title.
