According to reports, FC Barcelona will be given an \u2018unexpected window\u2019 to sign Manchester City sensation Erling Haaland on one key condition.<\/p>\n
Last season, Haaland had a disappointing season for his standards as he was impacted by Man City<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s struggles, but he has returned to form at the start of this campaign.<\/p>\n Haaland<\/strong><\/a> has five goals in four Premier League games, while he grabbed five goals and two assists in Norway\u2019s World Cup qualifier against Moldova earlier this month.<\/p>\n At the start of this year, Haaland penned a remarkable new contract to commit himself to Man City until 2034.<\/p>\n Despite this, he remains linked with a move to Barcelona, who are in the market for a striker to be Robert Lewandowski\u2019s long-term replacement.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, a report claimed Haaland is \u2018destined\u2019 for Barcelona, with president Joao Laporta \u2018obsessed\u2019 with the Man City star.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Liverpool have buy-back option on \u00a390m quartet while Manchester City keep tabs on \u00a337.5m summer sales<\/a> Now, a report in Spain claims Haaland could become available at a \u2018bargain price\u2019 and it \u2018all depends on Pep Guardiola\u2019.<\/p>\n It is claimed that an \u2018unexpected window could open\u2019 to land Haaland because \u2018if this season is as disappointing as the last one in terms of the team, the English club would be willing to open the door for him\u2019 as they \u2018don\u2019t want any disgruntled star and that\u2019s the key that could change everything\u2019.<\/p>\n Regarding Guardiola\u2019s role and his potential price, the report explains:<\/p>\n \u2018Pep Guardiola\u2019s role is crucial. The Catalan manager has always made it clear that he doesn\u2019t want to keep any player against their will. If Haaland expresses his desire to leave and City\u2019s project doesn\u2019t take off, Guardiola won\u2019t put up insurmountable obstacles. The club\u2019s policy is clear: if a player isn\u2019t 100% motivated, leaving is the best solution for all parties.<\/p>\n \u2018That doesn\u2019t mean Bar\u00e7a would have it easy. Even in a favourable scenario, City wouldn\u2019t let Haaland leave for less than \u20ac100 million. Still, compared to the usual market prices and the striker\u2019s level, that figure could be considered a bargain.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n MORE MAN CITY COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has explained why he thinks Haaland will eventually leave Man City.<\/p>\n \u201cDo I believe that if he stayed here, he\u2019d achieve it? Yes, I don\u2019t doubt it,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n \u201cHis goalscoring record is remarkable.<\/p>\n \u201cUnless he\u2019s going to stay here for another five seasons, which is what it would take for him to get that level of goals I suspect, he won\u2019t\u201d.<\/p>\n When asked whether he thinks Haaland would stay in England, Jordan claimed: \u201cNo, I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n \u201cOther opportunities will come, not because Man City aren\u2019t a good football club, but because opportunities will come for him in different spaces and he\u2019ll want to broaden his horizons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, FC Barcelona will be given an \u2018unexpected window\u2019 to sign Manchester City sensation Erling Haaland…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":236599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[1386,25186,9655,216,50,220,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-236598","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-erling-haaland","10":"tag-home-page","11":"tag-manchester-city","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-soccer","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
