Arsenal and Real Madrid are calling about Haaland
An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of 114 Premier League financial rule breaches, and the phone lines to Erling Haaland's camp lit up (2). Arsenal and Real Madrid have both made contact (2). Both clubs are circling a striker who has 116 goals in 152 games for City (1).
City are still top, and Haaland is still scoring
None of that has changed the table yet. City have 15 points from five games, five wins from five, and sit first with a goal difference of +8. Arsenal are second on 12. Haaland has five goals in five Premier League appearances this season (1).
Kovacic on Juventus's list
Juventus want Mateo Kovacic as a free transfer next summer, alongside David Raum and Fikayo Tomori (3). The Serie A club also want Alejandro Balde on loan in January (3).
Fan reactions
City fans are arguing about the verdict and what comes next. One thread on r/soccer points to club executives possibly facing investigations once any appeal is done, while a rival post jokes about the trophies being taken out of the cabinets. On r/MCFC, the debate is about what "earning it the right way" even means. Join the discussion
