As more rumors of Haaland moving to Real Madrid increases, Guardiola has his thoughts on the matter.
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are lucky to have key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland back in the team. With the Champions League returning in two weeks, Guardiola and Man City are blessed to have them both back in the squad as the chase for more trophies continues.
De Bruyne was out for four months due to injury, but after his return, he was slotted into the team like he didn’t miss any games. He has three assists and one goal in the last four games for Man City despite only starting one of the games. His first start after more than four months was delivered as he assisted Julian Alvarez’s second goal of the game. It was a brilliant set-up pass from a free kick where many expected him to cross it into the box.
Erling Haaland came on in the 71st minute of the Premier League game against Burnley. Haaland didn’t score, but he had a shot blocked and a shot off-target. Haaland remains the top goal scorer of Man City and of the entire Premier League with 14 goals, tied with Mohamed Salah. Even though the player has just come back, many rumors regarding Haaland have emerged, including him leaving the club this summer. Real Madrid are desperate to make a big signing this summer and include Haaland as their transfer targets along with Kylian Mbappe.
Pep Guardiola shuts Haaland to Real Madrid rumors down after asked about Haaland’s attitude
Pep Guardiola was asked about reports from Spanish media claiming the Norwegian striker is not happy in Manchester and would likely move this summer. Guardiola did not hold any suspicions on what the Spanish media was alluding to. Guardiola says, “We don’t have the feeling that Erling is unhappy. Maybe the media in Spain, especially Madrid, has more information than us…”.
