Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Erling Haaland is set to snub Real Madrid and extend his stay at the Etihad.
Haaland joined Man City from Borussia Dortmund last summer. The Premier League champions signed him for an initial fee of around £63m after his release clause was activated.
The forward has enjoyed a remarkable debut season for the English outfit. He has netted 52 goals in his 51 appearances and this includes 36 goals in the Premier League.
The 22-year-old is helping Man City challenge for the treble. They won the Premier League with a couple of games to spare and they are in the final of the FA Cup and Champions League.
Haaland is already being linked with a move away from Man City and Real Madrid are known to be admirers of the prolific striker.
Earlier this year, Haaland’s agent – Rafaela Pimento – warned Man City that Real Madrid is viewed as a “dreamland” for her clients.
Football Insider are now reporting that ‘the plan of Haaland and his father Alf Inge Haaland had been to stay’ at Man City ‘for three years’. He would ‘move on’ after ‘hoovering up trophies and breaking records’.
Real Madrid will ‘push for Haaland’ in 2024 as a replacement for Karim Benzema but ‘City are confident of spurning their advances’.
The report adds: ‘A well-placed source has revealed that he now wants to stay at the Etihad Stadium for four years – until 2026.
The report shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.
