Report: Man City wary of ‘strong competition’ from La Liga rivals over £100m ‘long-term successor’

Manchester City believe Sergio Aguero’s time at the Etihad Stadium is coming to an end and might allow him a move away when his contract expires this summer as a result. Erling Haaland is one player on their radar, but they’re not the only big club interested.

Mike McGrath of The Telegraph says City are wary of ‘strong competition’ from Real Madrid in their pursuit of Haaland. Los Blancos are on the hunt for a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema, but their financial situation is unhealthy due to the pandemic, so it remains to be seen if they can match City.
