Erling Haaland's time at The Etihad may not be for the long-term.

Richard Dunne believes Erling Haaland's spell at Manchester City could end within the next couple of seasons. 

Since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, Haaland has smashed goal records across both the Premier League and for the club. Last season he racked up 52 goals in all competitions and is leading the goal chart this campaign, despite missing the last month with injury. 

His exploits last year helped Pep Guardiola's side to a historic treble, and ex-City defender Dunne believes his former club may not see too much more of the Norwegian. 

“Erling Haaland will probably want to play for Real Madrid at some time in his career,” Dunne told William Hill.

“I think a lot of players would do. He's won the treble at Man City and already achieved everything he can, so I believe that he'll probably stay another two seasons and then we might see him move on.
 
“From what I gather, he's enjoying his time at Man City. I know the reports suggest differently, but he is winning games every week, he's scoring goals, winning trophies, and he's got the possibility with that group of players to win the treble again – whether it be this season or next season.

"I don't see it being an instant worry for the club or for the fans at the moment, but certainly, over the next two or three years, I do think that his wishes would probably be to move on from the club.”
