“I can only stay at Manchester City only on one condition, I have faced alot of challenges while at the club, it is not easy being where u watch your talent grows and I am not ready to risk it again,” – Before considering to stay at Manchester City, Erling Haaland makes a crucial demand before securing a new contract at the Club.

 Erling Haaland's future at Manchester City appears closely tied to Pep Guardiola's tenure at the club. Recently, Guardiola agreed to extend his contract until 2026, with an optional additional year, which has eased concerns about his immediate departure. Haaland, who has been vocal about Guardiola's importance to his development, expressed his desire for the coach to stay, stating he "hopes Pep signs a new contract" and emphasizing the impact Guardiola has had on his growth as a player since joining City in 2022.

In response to this, Manchester City is reportedly preparing a lucrative €120 million contract extension for Haaland, aiming to secure his commitment amid interest from clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid. While Haaland's current contract runs until 2027, this extension would tie him to the club for an additional four to five years, strengthening City's long-term project under Guardiola's leadership.

Furthermore, Guardiola's recent contract renewal has been seen as a crucial step to maintaining squad stability, especially during ongoing legal challenges involving alleged financial breaches. With Guardiola's continued presence and a strong offer on the table, City is optimistic about retaining their star striker.
