Haaland’s Release Clause Invalidated by Pep Guardiola: Manchester City Holds the Key to His Future
It is highly likely that Erling Haaland has been the best player to sign this season, and Manchester City has received further positive news because Pep Guardiola has invalidated his release clause.
Despite having already scored 28 goals in the Premier League, according to BBC Sport, Erling continues to find the net.
Forbes reports that Barcelona’s choice to reject him and select Martin Braithwaite instead could be viewed as one of the club’s most regrettable decisions.
According to Goal, there was allegedly a release clause of €200m in place for Haaland at Manchester City, which highlights how mistaken Barcelona’s decision was. Regardless, it seems that Haaland is not going to leave his current team until his contract expires in 2027.
As reported by Goal, the release clause for Haaland is now invalid since Pep Guardiola renewed his contract. This implies that Manchester City is not obligated to sell him unless they choose to, Haaland cannot force a transfer, and the club can demand any amount they want if they decide to sell him in the future.
Haaland’s rise to the top of the European game shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, and his five goals in the Champions League in midweek against RB Leipzig should serve as a warning to top clubs across the continent.
At just 22 years of age, it’s a frightening prospect to imagine just how great he will become.
