While Manchester City is going through a big slump in the Premier League, the English media say that PSG has positioned itself for Erling Haaland.
By losing on Saturday at Brighton (2-1), the Cityzens suffered a fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions, a great first in the legendary career of Pep Guardiola. To the point that some are wondering if the Spanish coach will really extend his contract with the English club, which ends next June. And this Monday, it is the situation of Manchester City scorer, Erling Haaland, who is also in doubt on the Etihad side. Linked until 2027 with City, the Norwegian striker could leave next summer after having won everything with the English team, and it is in this hypothesis that the name of Paris Saint-Germain is mentioned this Monday by the specialized media British Football365.com. In search of a truly effective scorer, Luis Enrique could finally agree to bring in Haaland, who is a star, but knows how to stay in line, which is what the PSG coach wants above all.
Haaland can solve PSG's problems
While the French champions are struggling in the Champions League due to incredible inefficiency, we saw it again against Atlético de Madrid, Erling Haaland could push Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Luis Campos to invest in the Norwegian cyborg. ” LReal Madrid and FC Barcelona have been mooted as possible destinations for Haaland, but in Spain PSG are said to be a 'surprise plan B' for the striker », Specifies Lewis Oldham, journalist for Football365 and Planet Sport. Obviously, given the effectiveness of Erling Haaland (16 goals in 15 games this season), Paris Saint-Germain could solve a good part of their problems by signing him next season.
But the competition will be fierce and above all the 24-year-old striker's decision will mainly depend on that of Pep Guardiola. If the latter chooses to extend with Manchester City, then it is likely that Haaland will stay at least one more season with the Sky Blues, and will therefore not join PSG or another club. But if the Spaniard packs his bags, then everything will be possible, including the possibility that the striker decides to try the Parisian adventure, while his value is estimated at 200 million euros by the specialized site Transfermatk.
With an attack made up of Barcola, Dembélé and Haaland, PSG would clearly regain a certain standing that it no longer has since the departure of Mbappé. But the Barcelona and Madrid leaders will also have arguments to try to convince the Norwegian to sign if he enters the transfer market. It's up to Nasser Al-Khelaifi to make the right offer, if the Qatari president is really tempted by the signing of someone who is a real star of world football. The anti-bling bling policy is showing its limits this year.
