Erling Haaland believes Manchester City will be stronger next season after a period of transition within the squad.
City have integrated several new signings over the past 18 months, with Pep Guardiola overseeing a shift in personnel that has required time to settle.
“It’s been a lot of change now the last couple of years, I would say in the last year,” Haaland said.
“There’s been lots of players that have been here for a long time. So with new players, it takes time. It’s not easy to come into a new league, new country, all of this. It takes time to adapt.”
City squad evolution under Guardiola
Among those brought in are Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marc Guehi, Abdukodir Khusanov, Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo.
Despite suggestions from Guardiola that City are still developing compared to rivals Arsenal, they remain in contention to finish the season with multiple trophies.
“I think exciting times and I’m looking forward to being a part of it,” Haaland added.
Haaland future at Manchester City
Haaland also dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Spain, where Real Madrid and Barcelona have been mentioned.
The striker signed a long-term contract extension in 2025 and made it clear he remains committed to the club.
“I’m super happy and I’m looking forward to what’s next because I think it’s exciting times for City as a club and also me as a player,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to continuing with City.”
Haaland targets World Cup with Norway
City are still chasing further silverware this season, with the Premier League title and FA Cup both within reach.
After the club campaign concludes, Haaland will turn his attention to international duty with Norway for the upcoming World Cup.
“I’ve dreamed of representing my country on this stage my entire life, and now that it’s here, it’s an incredible honour,” he said.
