PSG have reportedly made an offer for the Manchester City superstar, with the player turning down the Parisian club according to a recent report from a Spanish outlet.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has reportedly turned down a lucrative contract extension with the Citizens, signalling that his time in England may be coming to an end.

The Premier League's top scorer in recent seasons has left the door open for Europe’s elite clubs to pursue his signature after rejecting Pep Guardiola's financial proposal.

Despite the allure of continuing under Guardiola's management, Haaland has made it clear that he desires to further his career in Spain.

According to reports from elnacional.cat (h/t Fichajes), both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have been closely monitoring the situation surrounding the young forward and are preparing to battle for his transfer.

Real Madrid, in particular, harbours dreams of pairing Haaland with Kylian Mbappe, creating a formidable attacking duo that could dominate European football for years to come.

PSG's ambition to secure a prolific goalscorer is at an all-time high, and according to Fichajes, the Parisians made an offer for Haaland, which was rejected by the Norwegian player himself.

The specifics of the offer that PSG allegedly made remain unknown, but Transfermarkt values him at €200 million.

Meanwhile, Barcelona, despite facing financial challenges, views Haaland as the key to revitalising their attacking line. The rich history and exciting sporting project at the Camp Nou could significantly influence the striker's decision.

It’s difficult to know whether it’s true that PSG made a concrete offer for Haaland. Of course, there could have been interest since he is one of the best players in the world, but Luis Enrique's philosophy doesn’t seem to lean towards that kind of high-profile signing.

Only time will tell. We’ll see where the Norwegian striker ends up playing.
