Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been asked about reported interest from Barcelona in striker Erling Haaland.
The goal machine is believed to be one of Joan Laporta’s dream transfer targets, and Guardiola says he’s not surprised the Catalans want the Norwegian ace.
“Can you tell me one club that wouldn’t dream of Erling Haaland?” he told reporters.
“I understand Barcelona dream of Erling, and all the clubs in the world. If Erling would not be with us, it would be a dream for Man City to have Erling.”
Guardiola also said he doesn’t know what will happen in the future but pointed out that Haaland has recently signed a mammoth 10-year contract with City.
“What is going to happen, honestly, I don’t know. I know he has a long contract here and I think he’s doing really well and scoring a lot of goals. I had the feeling the team helps him a lot and gives him a lot of actions where he is able to score a goal,” he added.
“I think Erling isn’t stupid enough to sign something he doesn’t want to accomplish, that is for sure. But football, who knows what is going to happen in the next time. Nobody knows.”
Haaland is one of several strikers being linked with Barcelona at present. Julian Alvarez and Serhou Guirassy are also believed to be targets of the club.
