Erling Haaland's replacement? Man City to target 120m-rated Evan Ferguson as long-term successor for Norwegian superstar
- Manchester City monitoring Evan Ferguson
- Striker has been impressive in Premier League
- Haaland remains Real Madrid's long-term target
WHAT HAPPENED? According to inews, City, along with other elite clubs, are closely observing the emergence of Brighton's 18-year-old talent. His remarkable performances at Amex Stadium, especially after the hat-trick against Newcastle United, have attracted the attention of European elites.
Although City want to extend Haaland beyond 2027, they are well aware of Real Madrid's interest in the player and hence view Ferguson as part of their succession plan. Meanwhile, having both Haaland and Ferguson in their ranks would make them further formidable and to make it come to fruition they want to lay the groundwork for the deal well in advance.
