On September 28, French football legend Emmanuel Petit spoke about Erling Haaland, suggesting that he might play in the Saudi league towards the end of his career.
Pettit said regarding Haaland: “Because it’s difficult for Haaland to make a significant impact in national team competitions, he can only focus on club competitions and give it his all.”
Pettit further stated that Haaland might choose to join the Saudi league at the end of his career: “Haaland wants to achieve more in European football, so even if the Saudi league offers him an annual salary of 200 million pounds, he won’t go now, especially since his earnings at Manchester City are not low. But I believe we will see Haaland in the Saudi league one day, which may be towards the end of his career.”
This season, Haaland has played 7 games for Manchester City, scoring 10 goals, demonstrating excellent form. Currently leading the Premier League with 10 goals, he is far ahead of others and is the biggest favorite for the Premier League Golden Boot this season. He will also help The Citizens challenge for the Premier League and Champions League titles.
