Haaland had no fears about Manchester City legal case before signing new deal

Striker never considered repercussions of legal battle
Haaland signed nine-and-a-half-year deal this month

Erling Haaland says he never considered the repercussions of Manchester City losing their legal battle with the Premier League before he signed his nine-and-a-half‑year contract extension.

It is possible the league champions could be relegated if found guilty of a number of the 100‑plus charges brought against them for breaches of the competition’s financial rules. Haaland simply made plain his confidence in the club’s powerbrokers to achieve the outcome they desire.
