Premier League Transfer News: Haaland’s Future and Centre-Backs to Watch
Graeme Bailey shares the latest updates in Premier League transfers in his weekly Talking Transfers column for TBR Football. This week’s focus includes Erling Haaland’s contract details, insights on Premier League sporting directors, and promising centre-backs for the upcoming transfer windows.
Erling Haaland’s Contract Clauses
Real Madrid and Barcelona believe Haaland’s new contract, signed last season, contains clauses that might allow him to leave in the future. Although Manchester City initially stated that Haaland’s nine-year deal, running until 2034, removed previous clauses, sources close to the agreement—as well as insiders at Barcelona and Real Madrid—suspect some clauses remain.
It’s important to remember that all major contracts Haaland has signed include clauses, so the situation remains to be seen.
“Barcelona have accepted that he’s likely to be at City beyond 2026.”
Current Status and Performance
Haaland is currently performing exceptionally with Manchester City, scoring 13 goals in 10 games and nearing 150 goals for the club in fewer than 160 matches. He is also preparing for his first significant international tournament with Norway next summer.
At present, no departure is expected within the next 18 months, and Haaland’s focus remains firmly on the season ahead. However, his future could become a significant topic of discussion after that period.
Centre-Backs to Watch in 2026
The article also highlights emerging centre-backs within the Premier League who could become key transfer targets in the coming windows, emphasizing the evolving defensive talents clubs should monitor closely.
Summary
Erling Haaland’s long-term future at Manchester City appears secure for now despite speculation over contract clauses, while rising defensive talents promise intriguing developments in upcoming Premier League transfer windows.
