The soccer transfer landscape is continually changing, and player-club agreements alter with time. A bombshell has just loomed over the Etihad Stadium. The Norwegian star who has been illuminating Manchester City’s assault, Erling Haaland, is apparently unwilling to extend his contract with the reigning Premier League champions. While the City is doing all possible to guarantee his long-term commitment, sources indicate that the renewal is far from imminent.

Behind the scenes exposes the story of Real Madrid’s continuous interest in the Norwegian star. Let’s go into the circumstances of this horrific development at Etihad Stadium.

Erling Haaland declines Manchester City’s contract offer

Erling Haaland is now under contract with City until 2027 after signing a 5-year deal. There are stipulations in his contract that allow him to leave for a predetermined fee. Man City’s determination to block these possible departure doors, however, is greeted with opposition from Haaland’s camp. According to TeamTalk, the Norwegian camp has informed Haaland that no contract extension would be signed anytime soon.

According to sources close to Haaland, “this is not happening right now, it’s that simple.” But City need not be concerned; there is nothing against them, and Haaland is not about to leave or even consider leaving. Haaland has just gone over his alternatives, and he wants to ensure that he is always in control of his own fate.”
