At the centre of attention is Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker could consider a move elsewhere if a potential punishment were to prevent Manchester City from competing in England or from challenging for major trophies.
In 2025, amid intense speculation about his future, Haaland extended his contract with the Citizens until 2034. The new deal clearly indicated that the Norwegian intended to remain at the Etihad for many years, but the situation could change depending on the decision reached regarding Manchester City.
Asked about the possibility of the club being found guilty and the potential consequences for his own future, Haaland said:
“I haven’t thought about it. I trust the club; they know what they need to do,” Haaland said.
