Haaland not worried about possible Manchester City punishment

Haaland signed a new 9½-year contract in January, the longest ever agreed by a major club.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding City due to the charges — which could result in a hefty fine or a significant points deduction — the Norway star committed to the deal.

When asked if he was concerned about the verdict expected by March, Haaland reaffirmed his confidence.

“I don’t do that, obviously, when I sign a 9½-year contract,” Haaland said ahead of Norway’s World Cup qualifier against Moldova.

“I’ve said 300 times why I signed the contract. I talked to the club, got a good feeling and agreed to it in the end. That’s why.”

Lone bright spot for City

Despite City’s struggles this season, Haaland has been the lone bright spot for the club.

The Norwegian has netted 29 goals across all competitions this term.

However, City has fallen out of the Premier League title race and exited the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola’s side sits fifth in the Premier League but has advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals.

“That’s how it is sometimes,” the 24-year-old striker said.

“It’s been different when you’ve won the Premier League both years and not been in the title race. But you can’t win every year.

“Now it’s about securing a Champions League place, and do something you can do something about: Win the FA Cup.”
