Premier League Transfer News with Erling Haaland’s Man City Future and Centre-Backs to Watch in 2026
Welcome back to Talking Transfers! In this weekly column, Graeme Bailey from TBR Football shares the latest Premier League transfer updates. This week, we focus on Erling Haaland’s contract details, insights on Premier League sporting directors, and key centre-backs to watch in upcoming transfer windows.
Haaland’s Contract Clauses and Future at Manchester City
Real Madrid and Barcelona believe Erling Haaland’s new contract, signed last season, includes clauses that might allow him to leave in the future. Initially, City sources stated that Haaland’s nine-year deal running until 2034 removed his previous clauses. However, insiders close to the deal and representatives from Barca and Real think some clauses remain.
"Every major deal Haaland has signed has had clauses. So, let’s see how this plays out."
Despite these clauses, a departure within the next 18 months is unlikely. Barcelona has accepted that Haaland is expected to stay at Man City beyond 2026. While he remains their long-term target, his current focus is firmly on the ongoing season.
Haaland’s Performance and Future Prospects
Haaland has been exceptional for City so far, scoring 13 goals in 10 games. He is approaching 150 goals for the club in fewer than 160 appearances. Additionally, he is preparing for his first major international tournament with Norway next summer.
Summary
Although Haaland’s contract may have exit clauses, his immediate future lies with Manchester City, where he continues to excel both domestically and internationally.
"Barcelona have accepted that he’s likely to be at City beyond 2026."
