Erling Haaland chooses between Manchester City and Real Madrid

Erling Haaland’s numbers in the 2022-2023 season were just amazing. 36 goals in the Premier League (a new record) and 12 goals at the Champions League. That’s why, for many experts and fans, he’s the only true candidate who might compete for the next Ballon d’Or with Lionel Messi.

“After a couple of days, when this settles a bit, this feeling of winning this trophy, I think I’ll want to do it again. For sure. I know myself that much that I’m quite sure that’s what I will think.”

So, if there’s nothing else to win at Manchester City, Real Madrid have always been knocking on the door. Right now, they definitely need a center forward after Karim Benzema went to Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, Erling Haaland shut down any possibility for that to happen.

To be getting trained by the best coach in the world is a good place to be. To work with him is really special. We have a good relationship. Ever since I came here, he’s been helping me a lot.”
