Ferguson is a man City are after.
Brighton player Evan Ferguson in action.
The star of Brighton and Hove Albion, Evan Ferguson, is said to be Manchester City’s “chosen” Erling Haaland replacement.
Unsurprisingly, the treble-winning team’s acquisition of the Norway international has turned out to be a sensation.
In his first 59 appearances for the Premier League and European champions in all competitions, he netted 58 goals.
Because it appears likely that Haaland will join Real Madrid at some point in the coming years, Man City should value Haaland while he is still a member of the team.
When/if Haaland leaves Man City, a sizable void will be left, and it will be challenging to fill that position.
It was stated earlier this week that they “want to buy” Ferguson to play next to the 23-year-old.
Ferguson has had a significant impact for Brighton over the past year, and in his first 24 Premier League appearances for Roberto De Zerbi’s team, he has netted ten goals.
Despite claims that Pep Guardiola wants Ferguson to team up with Haaland, the Brighton starlet has reportedly been ‘chosen’ as the City forward’s’replacement,’ according to the Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Haaland’s new deal is reportedly “on the table,” but he “will have to decide” whether to accept it or look for a “change of scenery for the 2024–25 season.”.
Despite the forward’s formal City contract being valid until 2027, this is the case.
Man City has apparently devised an “emergency plan thinking about Ferguson as a luxury replacement” in order to prepare for life without Haaland.
If Ferguson continues to score goals for Brighton at an impressive clip, his reputation will only grow.
It was recently reported that Arsenal is planning a £100 million move for Ferguson in 2024.
Ferguson is reportedly ‘on Real Madrid’s agenda,’ according to Nacional, so Man City and Arsenal will likely have competition in the race to sign him.
According to the report, Real Madrid is keeping an eye on Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Benjamin Sesko as they look to bolster their attacking capabilities.
Ferguson and Sesko ‘will not be cheap,’ according to Real Madrid, but these deals would be ‘far removed from what it may cost to sign Haaland or Mbappe,’ the report claims.
The young player “can be the top scorer in Europe,” according to De Zerbi, after Ferguson scored a hat-trick against Newcastle last weekend.
“He was very aware of that situation.
He is working to complete his qualities, which go beyond just scoring, according to De Zerbi.
“He can grow to be very, very large. His abilities will enable him to develop into a top player.
He might be Europe’s top scorer. I don’t know how many young players score this type of goal in their career, but I’m not born until 2004, no.”.
