Psg have unexpectedly become the frontrunners to sign erling haaland, with manchester city facing the prospect of losing their star players due to severe penalties for breaching financial fair play (FFP) rules. The citizens have been found guilty on 114 counts, with a real threat of relegation from the premier league looming, which is expected to trigger an exodus of players.
Despite interest from arsenal, barcelona, and real madrid, Le Parisien reports that it is indeed psg who lead the chase for the 26-year-old Norwegian. A potential move is linked to the likelihood of ousmane dembele making a switch to Saudi Arabia. While haaland's contract doesn't contain a clause for relegation and his release fee of €175 million kicks in only in 2029, city will demand a record fee that surpasses the transfer of Neymar (£198 million). The footballer's father, alf-Inge haaland, has also confirmed the player's affinity for the French club, praising psg's achievements, including their successes in the champions league.
