Reports say Man City “sells” star striker Erling Haaland and “sells” star striker Erling Haaland.
Haaland and the citizens were not in top form last season, but Norwegian International still managed to score 22 Premier League goals, while Man City came in third in the Premier League.
By City’s high standards, after winning the previous four Premier League titles, Pep Guardiola’s team had to gather in the final or two months to secure Champions League qualification.
Haaland expressed dissatisfaction with his performance this season after Man City lost 2-1 to Brighton before an international break.
The Norwegian said: “We lost two games in a row. It’s not enough. It’s too bad. We need to understand that. We need to go back to how to win.
“It’s perfect to turn things around against United. We all need to do our best, get our **es and get things going.

“Of course, it’s not cool to lose. It’s annoying. You need to use it for something positive. As a motivator to make the next game even better, and we hope we are.
“To deliver at our highest level, we need to use the rage within us on the pitch.”
Man City bounced back from the loss to the Seagulls, moving to the top half of the table after four games, inclusively beating arch rival Man UTD 3-0 in the Manchester Derby.
However, Spanish website Fichajes claims that he is “willing to sell Haaland” in 2026 if Man City decides to ask him to join another club.

Man Man City Top Scoreerers Against the Big Six: Erling Haaland only two players will start sterling first
The report said citizens would only go to him for a fee of nearly 100 million euros. This is an amount that is considered a major opportunity in the current market.
Man City has already said after Pep Guardiola that they don’t want to keep a star that they’re dissatisfied with and “we don’t intend to keep players who aren’t completely committed.”
Barcelona sports director Deco sees Haaland as the “first priority” of the Catalan giant, saying, “comparing with other recent moves in the elite striker market, the 100 million euro city is in demand.”
That 100 million euros (£87 million) price is called “special” when compared to Liverpool’s £125 million payments to Alexander Isaac, and the “key” to the potential move will be the city’s performance this season.
