In the program The Rest Is Football , Haaland said: “In Norway, we watched the Premier League. When Pep Guardiola called, I didn’t hesitate. He said I could score a lot of goals. At that time, Man City needed a center forward, and I also wanted to prove that Guardiola’s team was not just about passing the ball.”

Haaland insists he is happy in Manchester and has not considered joining any other European club in recent years. “I feel this is the ideal place to develop. England is a football-crazed country, and I want to be a part of that,” the Norwegian striker said.

Earlier this year, Haaland signed a new contract with Man City until 2034. This season, the former Dortmund player has been in superb form, scoring 20 goals in 20 appearances across all competitions.

Despite being happy at Man City, Haaland is still on Real Madrid's radar. According to TEAMtalk , the Bernabeu club will send an offer to Man City and the Norwegian striker as soon as Vinicius leaves, possibly next summer.

Haaland is proving that he can surpass all conventional limits and become a true goal-scoring machine of modern football. He is considered a major threat to Real Madrid's defense in the Champions League clash on the morning of December 11th.

Haaland's superb performance in the 11-1 win On the morning of September 10, Haaland scored 5 goals to help Norway beat Moldova 11-1 in the European World Cup qualifiers.
