Erling Haaland, despite scoring 30 goals in 41 games this season, is reportedly mentally tired and may leave Manchester City if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. PSG and Bayern Munich have shown interest, with indirect talks already underway. Barcelona also remain in contention for a potential €175 million move in 2026.
After the 2024–25 season fell below expectations for Manchester City, fresh speculation surrounds Erling Haaland’s future. Despite netting 30 goals in 41 appearances, the Norwegian striker is reportedly “mentally tired” and could leave City immediately—but only if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s side currently sits fourth with two matches remaining, closely pursued by Aston Villa and Chelsea. Haaland, who joined City in 2022 for around £51 million, recently signed a ten-year extension, yet exit rumors persist.
A Spanish report claims Barcelona have been working on a €175 million move for 2026, potentially making Haaland the most expensive Premier League departure ever. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have made initial approaches in hopes of hijacking that transfer.
Bayern view Haaland as an ideal successor to Harry Kane, while PSG consider him a marquee striker. The reports also reveal that Haaland’s renewed contract contains clauses allowing him to depart under specific conditions. With Champions League qualification hanging in the balance and interest growing from Europe’s elite, the summer could trigger one of football’s biggest transfers.
