'Swap Haaland for Vlahovic' — Man City boss Pep Guardiola receives BIZARRE advice to replace star striker Erling Haaland

Galli said,

If I were Guardiola and was asked to swap Haaland and Vlahovic, I would. Dusan is no less than Haaland. Juventus don't produce as many goal-scoring opportunities as Manchester City, yet he still has 12 goals. If he were at City, he'd score 50 goals a season like Haaland.

The former keeper also added that he has a ‘weakness’ for Dusan Vlahovic and that he has known him since his time at Fiorentina. Vlahovic was troubled by injuries for the majority of last season, but has regained fitness and is performing at the highest level for Juventus.

Pep Guardiola ‘challenges’ Real Madrid to make an offer for Erling Haaland

With Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid ‘done’ as per multiple reports, Erling Haaland’s demand for the Los Blancos may have changed. However, this did not stop reporters from bringing up reports in Spain which suggested that Erling Haaland is unsatisfied with life in Manchester. Even though the veracity of this claim can be left to one’s judgment, Pep Guardiola certainly feels that this ploy ‘will not work’ at City.

The boss, seemingly fed up with constant rumors surrounding his star player said,

If someone wants Erling, it's easy. Call Man City and ask. It's what we do when we want someone. It's not that complicated.

He also said that it’s all up to the club and player as to whether he wants to sign a new deal or the club wants to offer him an extension.

Tracking back to his initial claim that it’s easy to sign Haaland, Guardiola added,

We want him for a long long time at this club. We are in love with him.

Since his arrival, Haaland has helped City to a historic treble, while also breaking several goal-scoring records in the Premier League. The player returned from injury against Burnley last week and will certainly play a crucial part this season if they are to retain their Premier League title.
