Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland has been the subject of strong speculation linking him to Real Madrid amid rumors of a release clause in his contract.

Despite Pep Guardiola’s public admiration for Haaland, sources have informed Football Insider that Man City has not arranged contract renewal talks with the Norwegian international, and discussions are not currently on the agenda.

Guardiola has expressed his admiration for Haaland, stating that City is “in love” with the “incredible” forward and indicating his desire for Haaland to stay at the Etihad Stadium for the long term.

However, Haaland has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, with reports from Spanish media suggesting that the 23-year-old feels he needs to leave Man City in order to be recognized as the world’s best player and is reportedly “unhappy” in Manchester.

Despite these rumors, Football Insider disclosed that Haaland is not currently planning to leave Man City and that the club is not concerned about their leading striker departing at this time.

Haaland still has over three years remaining on his contract with Man City after joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, and while talks about his future may happen in the off-season, formal contract discussions are yet to be arranged.

The prolific striker, who was instrumental in Man City’s historic treble in the 2022-23 season, has also returned to action after a two-month absence due to a foot injury and remains a top contender for the Premier League’s Golden Boot award with 14 goals.
