Man City interest in Bukayo Saka has Arsenal 'worried' and other transfer rumours

Manchester City retain interest in England and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka.

The 21-year-old has just two years to run on his contract at the Emirates and officials behind-the-scenes are said to be increasingly worried, according to a new report, about the possibility of City pouncing.

90min reports that Arsenal have been locked in talks with Saka's representatives for most of 2022. However, as of yet, no deal has been thrashed out and as long as that remains the case City will always fancy their chances of nabbing the wideman.

Saka has impressed for the Gunners this term, scoring once and chipping in with four assists to aid Arsenal's bright start that sees them sit top of the Premier League table.

Meanwhile, City fans may be worried at reports surrounding the future of star man Erling Haaland.

According to Fernando Sanz, the ex-president of Real Madrid and Malaga, Haaland's City contract contains a release clause that can only be triggered by the world's biggest clubs. Only Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid were named by Sanz when addressing who has access to the unique clause that is reportedly able to be invoked in 2024.

He said on the Spanish TV show El Chiringuito: "The information I have is that there is an exit clause for Haaland in the second year, and the curious thing is that it has very beneficial conditions compared to the rest for one club, which is Real Madrid."
