Manchester City's financial rule breaches have raised major questions over the future of key players, including Haaland, who currently has around eight years remaining on his contract. A potential points deduction severe enough to cause relegation could have significant implications for the club's squad.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are taking a closer look at Haaland, the 22-year-old Norwegian international who has been one of the most prolific goal-scorers in the Premier League since joining Manchester City in 2022. The uncertainty surrounding Manchester City's financial rule breaches has also cast doubt on Cavan Sullivan's move to the Etihad. The 16-year-old USMNT and Philadelphia Union midfielder has agreed a transfer when he turns 18, but the situation could be put in jeopardy if Manchester City's points deduction is severe enough to cause relegation.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their interest in Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Ibrahim Maza, while Chelsea, Manchester City, and Aston Villa are also attentively monitoring the 20-year-old, whose versatility and technical quality have made him one of the most highly regarded talents in the Bundesliga.
