Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Erling Haaland does not have a release clause in his Manchester City contract.
It was claimed this week that the 22-year-old's lucrative deal at the Etihad included a specific clause which would facilitate a transfer to Real Madrid at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. However, City manager Guardiola has shut down the suggestions following Haaland's latest heroics in the Champions League, scoring twice as the Citizens smashed Copenhagen 5-0 at home on Wednesday.
"It's not true, he has no release clause for Real Madrid or any other team," Guardiola confirmed post-match. "It's not true, what can I say? I have the feeling he is incredibly happy here. We will try with him and the others to make him happy."
