Erling Haaland’s father hints at Man City exit date for his son and potential destination

Erling Haaland’s father, Alfie has hinted at a possible date for his son to leave Manchester City and potential destination.

There has been speculation ever since his arrival at the Etihad Stadium whether Manchester City were the career-long club for the Norwegian international.

However, concerns amongst some fans were heightened when details of a release clause emerged shortly after his arrival from Borussia Dortmund was confirmed.

Haaland’s dad, who also represented City, has again claimed that his son could leave the Etihad sooner than City fans would want.

“Erling could stay at Manchester City for 15 years because he is happy and we are talking about a great club,” he told France Football as quoted by DAZN.

“However, I think he wants to prove he can win in any top league. He spent two and a half years in Germany and could do something like that in the future.”

“Staying in the Premier League for three years and then going to Italy, Spain or France. There’s nothing firm about it, but it’s a possibility because Erling is capable of being a winner in any team.”

Haaland’s father said something similar in September when he refused to rule out his son’s move to other top European leagues.

The Norway international scored 86 goals in 89 appearances with Borussia Dortmund between January 2020 and June 2022. He has 21 goals in 23 appearances with his national team but failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.

Haaland’s contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in June 2027. His father and Rafaela Pimenta are the striker’s representatives.

Haaland spent a few days during the World Cup break in Italy, visiting the Ferrari factory in Maranello and tasting some of Emilia Romagna’s culinary specialities in Bologna and Modena.
