Erling Haaland has strongly supported Manchester City to triumph in their long -term legal battle with the Premier League after conversations with the hierarchy of the club before they have written a contract for decades.
The city is waiting for a judgment about the hearing, which is held last fall on more than 115 charges for alleged financial inappropriation.
News about the case was expected to arise before the end of last season, but dragged through the summer.
City was charged in February 2023 and the arguments are now threatening to stretch over three separate seasons, with potential punishment ranging from relegation to a fine.
The Premier League claims that City does not provide accurate financial information for nine seasons, the full details of the wages of the players and the full details of the salary of former manager Roberto Mancini.
The city strongly denies any misconduct and Haaland suggested that the club had offered him guarantees before he expanded his deal in January.
“I spoke with the bosses, and in the end I believe them,” Haaland told Time Magazine. 'It is such a difficult situation for me to even sit and talk about it, because I wasn't really involved. I think the club knows what they are doing. They will solve it. '
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters apologized for a lack of update while he appeared on NBC this week. “You can ask, but our rules are very clear,” said Masters.
'It's a confidential process, so I really can't give information about timing or something similar. There is nothing more that I can add, so I am sorry. '
Since the hearing was closed at the end of last year, City has committed more than £ 300 million on new signing sessions. A new position, which costs an estimated £ 300 million, is also under construction. Puma has extended their partnership with City by 10 years for around £ 1 billion.
The new deal from Haaland – more than £ 400,000 a week – suggested the trust of innocence. “This (contract) feels really normal for me to do,” added Haaland. “They have so much faith in me. I have the good feeling in my body. '
The Norway International, who achieved a 300th career goal during the disappointing club World Cup campaign, insisted that he pushed the tough season of the city in mind.
But he admitted that he made a mistake in the FA Cup Final Department of Crystal Palace when he did not take a penalty, instead handed the ball to Omar Marmoush, who missed.
“I shouldn't have given it to a new player,” said the 25-year-old. 'So all responsibility is on me. I put him in this situation. I had a good feeling for him. But I should have taken it myself.
'I can't keep thinking about last season. That last season was not good enough, this or that. That is the best part of football. There is always something new that is coming. You have to think about what is coming and living in the present moment. '
Haaland may have 124 goals in 146 games for City, but his former Molde -Baas, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, revealed how Manchester United was the striker while he was a manager.
Solskjaer claimed that United could have ended up the teenager for € 20 million, the release clause in his Red Bull Salzburg contract. Although he grew up with city shirts, Haaland had taken into account Solskjaer, who had perfected his finish in Molde.
“As a coach you had before, you want, listen to of course,” said Haaland.
Solskjaer had said: 'By the time I entered as a caretaker, Moldde had sold him to Salzburg. I immediately tell the club: “Buy it.” He had a release clause. No one but that money would have paid.
“It was 20 million euros and it would have been a bargain. It was the club's decision not to go for him then.
“We didn't go for him until he started scoring for Salzburg, but then Dortmund, Juventus, was everyone there.”
