Erling Haaland is open to leaving Manchester City this summer, according to reports.
The striker "has already decided what his future will be for next summer", per El Nacional, who also state that "he is ready to take the next big step in his career."
Haaland is arguably the best No.9 in the world, with an incredible 101 goals in 108 matches for the Citizens. Now into his third season at the Etihad, the 24-year-old is now on the lookout for another club. It's suggested that Paris Saint-Germain is not an option, neither is any other club in England.

It's thought that the Parisians have "launched a multi-million euro offer to convince the Norwegian to join their project." Haaland has rejected the proposal, believing that his future lies in Spain.
Haaland wants Spain
Real Madrid and Barcelona are both fans of Haaland. Los Blancos, in particular, wish to pair the former Borussia Dortmund man with Kylian Mbappe.
Joan Laporta's Barcelona are facing financial difficulties but they hope this can be rectified and that Haaland can come in and replace Robert Lewandowski, who turned 36 this summer. The Blaugrana have are attractive project to Haaland, states the report, and their sporting director, Deco, has closely followed Haaland and is prepared to do what it takes to bring him to the Camp Nou.

It comes after the report that if Haaland opts to depart the club, Man City will target a move for the Victor Gyokeres, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
The Sweden international has scored a whopping 55 goals since moving to Sporting last year, and he was pursued by both Arsenal and Chelsea during the 2024 summer transfer window.
However, despite interest from both London giants, Gyokeres could be set to join Man City, with Guardiola’s side reportedly identifying him as the perfect like-for-like replacement for Haaland.
