Paris Saint-Germain preparing monster £176m bid for Man City star - will Erling Haaland really leave the club?

In 2024, Mbappe left the Ligue 1 giants in favour of pastures new, joining Real Madrid as the Spanish club built another team of Galacticos around him, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) responded by winning the Champions League and reaching the final of the Club World Cup in his absence, going back to the team’s old ethos of working as a team, rather than relying on superstars.

But it seems the club’s executives have not learned their lesson from this, and wants to go back to an approach that failed them for more than a decade.

According to Football365, the French outfit are preparing a monster £176m bid for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

The Norway international is undoubtedly the best striker in world football at the moment, having scored 19 goals in 15 games for the Premier League club so far this season, with a further 12 goals representing his country in the World Cup qualifiers.

PSG aren’t alone in their affections for Haaland either, as Barcelona are also keen on securing his services. What’s more, the bookies think a move is genuinely on the cards.

Shane Orton, spokesperson for SportsCasting, said: “PSG are reportedly preparing a blockbuster offer of around €200m for Haaland to fill the superstar void left by Mbappe.

“Meanwhile, Barcelona’s admiration for Haaland is long-standing. President Joan Laporta has been focused on bringing him in as the long-term successor to Lewandowski, a move that continues to shape their planning.”

Here are the full odds for Haaland’s next club, should he decide to leave Man City:

PSG 5/4

Barcelona 3/1

Bayern Munich 7/1

Real Madrid 8/1

Chelsea 12/1

Napoli 16/1

Inter Milan 20/1

Juventus 20/1

Manchester United 20/1
