The possibility of Erling Haaland departing Manchester City this summer have seemingly taken another dramatic leap forward amid more worrying claims about the Norwegian striker. The 22-year-old striker moved to the Etihad over the summer in a deal that cost them an initial £51.2m fee. Buying out the clause in his Borussia Dortmund deal, though, was only the first step, with agent's fees and the player's wages likely to set them back around £180m over five years. However, the fee has looked to be money well spent with Haaland quickly finding his feet and blasting into the goals. Indeed, the Norwegian already has 31 goals in 28 games to his name and is the favorite to win the Footballer of the Year. Despite that, it all appears unwell behind the scenes. When he's on-song, there are fewer better in the game than Haaland. However, when teams managed to shut him out – as Tottenham did on Sunday – questions begin to appear over what he brings to City. To that end, Jamie Carragher claimed Haaland had moved to the wrong side and was better off signing for Man Utd instead. And amid criticism of his performances, major cracks are reportedly appearing between the striker and Pep Guardiola.
