Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hinted that City’s capture of Erling Haaland doesn’t mean he will stay at the club beyond the end of his contract.
Guardiola’s deal expires at the end of next season and it is widely expected that he will extend his time at the Etihad. After Jurgen Klopp signed a new deal until 2026 last month and Haaland agreed a five-year-deal, the assumption is that the Spaniard would prolong his six-year-spell in Manchester.
However, speaking ahead of Sunday’s clash against West Ham, Guardiola insisted the £51m acquisition will still be happy even if he doesn’t remain at the club. “The players who come here don’t come to play for me, they come to play in this league and for this club,” said Guardiola.
