According to Western media donbalon, Manchester City joined the competition for Haaland, and the Norwegian Emperor Star is worth around 90 million. One of the purposes of City's move is to keep Guardiola, whose contract with the Spanish boss is still 17 months away.
Guardiola has been in charge of Manchester City for six seasons, helping the Blue Moon to three Premier League titles (a 4th this season), as well as a number of cup-key. Of course, the Champions League trophy is a goal that Guardiola has not yet achieved at Manchester City, and his best result with the team was reaching the Champions League final last season. Overall, Pep Guardiola's coaching at Manchester City has been very successful, taking the team to a new level.
Guardiola signed his first contract with Manchester City until 2020, after he wanted to leave when his contract expired, and It took a lot of effort for City to persuade him to extend his contract to 2023. Guardiola entered the sixth year of his coaching career at Manchester City, which was already the longest time he had spent at the same club.
Now, Guardiola's contract expires at 17 months, and it's time to decide whether to continue. City work every day to persuade the Catalan coach to sign a new contract, but the situation is unclear at the moment. Guardiola has always been more concerned about sports, and many of the players in manchester City have been brought in by him. Manchester City has strong financial resources, but Guardiola does not only buy expensive players, the club has basically achieved a balance in financial revenue and expenditure.
In order to persuade Guardiola to stay, Manchester City prepared a big move - to bring norwegian emperor Haaland to the former. After Aguero left last summer, City have been lacking an efficient centre-forward and Jesus is capable but not the best option. Haaland's abilities need not be repeated, he may be one of the strongest centre-forward templates in football today, and it seems that his physical condition is also very suitable for Premier League games.
City believe that if haaland can be managed, Guardiola will be difficult to refuse. As mentioned earlier, Guardiola is trying to put together a complete system of games, rather than a team made up of star players. City want to keep most of their current players and extend their contracts beyond 2025, and recently they are in talks with Cancelo to renew their contracts, and the Portuguese wing is very dazzling and he will stay in Manchester until 2027. In addition, Glalis, Ruben Díaz, Ederson and Stones, these important stars will also sign long contracts.
Manchester City's current squad and system is built by Guardiola, and he may not let go easily. Guardiola's dream is to win the Champions League for Manchester City, which he had a chance to achieve last season but lost to Chelsea in the final.
