The aftermath of Manchester City ‘s clash against Tottenham Hotspur has brought about some interesting developments regarding Erling Haaland . While he may be facing some charges from the Football Association, Pep Guardiola finds himself dealing with a potential setback as new revelations have surfaced regarding Haaland’s possible transfer of him.

Rumors surrounding Haaland’s departure from Manchester City have been circulating for weeks, with reported interest from the Saudis and Real Madrid . The player himself has declined to renew his contract , adding fuel to the speculation. Now, a recent update from the Real Madrid camp further complicates the situation.

Real Madrid looking to sign Erling Haaland

Real Madrid has been actively pursuing French sensation Kylian Mbappe for the past two years. The club is still on the lookout to sign the PSG star, but they seem to have increased their options. Recent reports suggest that they have also opened the possibility of signing the Norwegian striker in 2024.

Real Madrid’s priority remains Mbappe, but their interest in Erling Haaland indicates a backup plan if they fail to secure the services of the French forward. Interestingly, the Norwegian striker himself has reportedly told those closest to him that he desires to play for the Spanish giants.

This development not only raises eyebrows but also presents a major challenge for Pep Guardiola. Haaland has proven to be an invaluable asset to Manchester City, delivering consistent goal-scoring performances and playing a pivotal role in their treble-winning campaign.

Losing such a prolific striker would undoubtedly be a blow to the Manchester City manager’s plans for the future. However, it is important to note that nothing is confirmed yet. Nevertheless, Haaland seems to have landed himself in hot water after facing Tottenham.

The Norwegian striker can face serious charges

During the recent Manchester City vs Tottenham match, there was a significant decision made that caused controversy. In the 5th minute of stoppage time, with the score tied at 3-3, Haaland was fouled but managed to regain his footing and pass the ball to Jack Grealish. However, referee Simon Hooper blew the whistle and stopped play, disregarding the advantage played.

This decision greatly angered the City players, who rushed towards Hooper in protest. After the match, Haaland posted a video clip of the incident on X with the caption, “WTF” expressing his frustration. Although he later deleted the tweet, it caught the attention of the FA who may take disciplinary action against him in response.
