The Manchester City manager denied reports about his striker's contract but admitted Kyle Walker's abdominal injury could rule him out of the World Cup.

Haaland was substituted at half‑time to preserve him for a hectic fixture period in the buildup to the World Cup, which starts in six weeks. Walker’s absence would leave Southgate with a significant hole in his defence to fill. “It’s not true,” he said.

Erling Haaland was rumoured to have a release clause specifically related to a proposed transfer to Real Madrid in his Manchester City contract, ...

After we won the derby 6-3 we had a lot of confidence so great to play the way we played. It's said that the Norwegian would initially cost €200million (£174m) if another club were to buy him in the summer of 2024 and €175m (£152m) a year later in 2025. However, City manager Guardiola has shut down the suggestions following Haaland's latest heroics in the [Champions League,](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/champions-league) scoring twice as the Citizens [smashed Copenhagen 5-0](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/erling-haaland-champions-league-mancity-28164961) at home on Wednesday. "The information I have is that there is an exit clause for Haaland in the second year," Sanz claimed on Spanish television programme El Chiringuito. Guardiola was delighted with his entire side's display, adding: "We are consistent and fighting for everything. He is always there," Grealish told "It's unbelievable honestly. [It was claimed this week](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/real-madrid-erling-haaland-transfer-28157197) that the 22-year-old's lucrative deal at the Etihad included a specific clause which would facilitate a transfer to [Real Madrid](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/real-madrid-cf) at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. "It's not true, he has no release clause for Real Madrid or any other team," Guardiola confirmed post-match. "It's not true, what can I say? [Pep Guardiola](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/pep-guardiola) has confirmed that [Erling Haaland](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/erling-braut-haaland) does not have a release clause in his [Manchester City](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/manchester-city-fc) contract.

Pep Guardiola dismissed reports of a release clause in Erling Haaland's contract after watching his star striker add another two goals to his season tally.

“This is why this season and in previous seasons, with important players, we are there every three days. “It is not about resting players,” Guardiola said. The work ethic in training, everybody is focused, everybody pays attention. “It’s about a squad of 20 players, not just 11. “He made the hat-tricks to win those games. “Erling wants the same as all of us – to win the game,” Guardiola said.

Halaand's cousin Albert Tjaaland is Molde's next big prospect ahead of Shamrock Rovers' visit to Norway.

But even that was a huge success compared to Vegard Forren who signed for Southampton in 2013 and failed to make a single appearance for the club before returning to Molde six month later. Sadly, when Molde returned to Ireland in 2020 they played before an empty house in Tallaght Stadium, beating Dundalk 2-1 in the group stage of the Europa League. In 2009 Mame Biram Diouf moved to Manchester United for €4.6 million but only made a handful of first team appearances. As a UCD fan I instinctively know that when it comes to following League of Ireland teams in Europe, it is not the despair that kills you but the hope. Molde went 2-0 up in the second leg before a goal by substitute Jack Ryan levelled the tie at 3-3 on aggregate and had UCD fans believing that the students were about to create an extraordinary shock against their fully-professional opponents. That shoot-out is as close as any side have come to upsetting Molde’s perfect record against League of Ireland sides in Europe.

His double took his goal tally for City to 19 in 12 just appearances and his career Champions League record to 28 in 22.

I’ve played a lot recently so I'm thankful to the manager. "I’m loving it at the moment. I’m playing with freedom and confidence. Hopefully he can carry this on and fire us to glory."

It's early October. And yet Erling Braut Haaland already has 19 goals for the season, 14 in the Premier League and five in Europe. He's scored these 19 goals in ...

This extends right through to the architecture of the club. He tells us that this is a side built on an unusual sense of the collective, even to the point where the players are free - and actively encouraged - to tell their manager where he's going wrong. The men’s and women’s teams of all ages train on the first-team pitch and are all permanently based at the stadium. And of all the accolades and trophies coming his way, none will compare to that. The average age of the first XI in the league last season was 20.7 and 33-year-old Kian Hansen started 25 matches. Beyond the actual results, last night's edition of the Champions League turned into a self-contained Goal of the Week competition. Liberated by Chelsea's switch to a back three, he took clear and total possession of the entire right flank, managing to score one, make another, and keep Rafael Leao quiet for almost the entire game. And the key point of that blueprint? As a neutral, Haaland's compelling, in the same sort of way a video of a tree falling over is compelling. He contains both parts of the ideal striking partnership: the earth-shaking presence of the big man and the snaffling goal sense of the little man. Chelsea moved the ball quickly, threatened from all angles, and over the course of the evening they essentially overpowered Milan. At that point, we'll all be able to make a round of Halloween jokes - oh no, Guardiola was the scientist; this is Guardiola's Monster - but after that, we've got a serious problem.

This does not feel like a hot streak, just the inevitable result of ice-cold finishing and a talent for the ages." "In the end, what is going to happen in the future, nobody knows.

Copenhagen’s Paul Mukairu had a half-chance after getting behind the City defence but Grealish sent another effort wide and Gomez stung Grabara’s hands with the last kick of the game. City claimed their fourth after 55 minutes after Marko Stamenic tangled with Aymeric Laporte in the area and Riyad Mahrez clipped home his first goal of the season from the penalty spot. The prolific Norwegian netted with his first touch at the Etihad Stadium and added another before being substituted at half-time in a one-sided Group G clash at the Etihad Stadium.

He netted in a shock 3-2 loss to Norwich and watched the Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk from the bench before getting his goal against Watford in an 8-0 win. He opened the new season with a penalty against West Ham and scored against Tottenham before successive doubles in wins over Bournemouth and Brighton. He netted in the return fixtures with Copenhagen and Ceuta, sandwiching a league goal against Getafe, and added two against Villarreal and a hat-trick in an 8-0 thumping of Almeria.
