Former Manchester City player Gareth Barry says it is likely that striker Erling Haaland will leave the club at some point in the future. Barry’s comments come despite Haaland being contracted to Manchester City until 2034. He argues that the appeal of a transfer could grow if the club’s situation changes over time.
Barry links the prospect of an eventual exit to City’s on-field performance and broader success. He suggests Haaland may consider a new challenge if City’s dominance and trophy results decline in the coming seasons. He also points to shifting Premier League dynamics, saying Arsenal could be among the leading contenders after major changes at City.
The outlets reporting on Barry’s remarks frame them as prediction rather than a report of any imminent move. No source cites concrete negotiations or a specific timeline for a transfer, focusing instead on how future team fortunes could affect Haaland’s decision-making.
