So, apparently Viktor Gyökeres has a condition for joining Manchester City. He’s only willing to move if he’s promised not to be a backup for Haaland! Is that wild or what? Seems like he’s got his eyes set on a starting spot, no benching for him. Any thoughts on how this could play out?
That’s a bold move, honestly. I mean, Haaland is untouchable at City, right? Not sure how they’d fit both of them in the lineup…

Yeah, unless they somehow play a 2-striker system, which I don’t think Pep would do… lol

Exactly, Pep’s all about that 1 striker up top formation. If he’s gonna sign Viktor, he’d have to make it work without sidelining Haaland. Curious how this plays out.
Didn’t know he was having such a good season, 24 goals already! But like, yeah, Haaland’s gonna be the first choice, right?

Same, man. He’s been on fire but City doesn’t bench Haaland unless it’s some emergency. Viktor might need to rethink his strategy lol.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe he’s just trying to get more leverage in the transfer talks. Either way, big move if it happens.
I’ve heard of this guy before. 26 years old and already hitting these numbers… seems like he has the talent, but IDK if City’s the right fit unless Haaland moves or gets injured.

Right? Seems like a lot of pressure to make that move if it’s just gonna end up as a backup role. But hey, it’s City. He might get his chance.

True, City’s got enough competitions that he might get rotation minutes. Still, Haaland’s basically locked in unless something big happens.
Does anyone think he’ll actually get that assurance? I can’t see Pep promising him that, even if he’s a great player. Gotta be realistic…
Can’t believe he’s asking for that tbh. Like, Haaland’s the future of the team. Would be wild to see Viktor come in and demand to start over him.

Exactly, Haaland’s on a whole other level. I don’t see City benching him anytime soon, no matter how good Gyökeres is.

Yeah, I feel that. It’s like he’s setting himself up for disappointment if he doesn’t get that promise. But who knows, maybe he’s hoping for a change in the system?

Maybe. But I can’t see Pep changing things up just for one player, especially when Haaland’s in such top form.
