Haaland for Rodrygo? Real Madrid’s Potential Blockbuster Swap Stirs Transfer Market

Real Madrid’s transfer window is shaping up to be electrifying. The club is already advancing deals for three confirmed signings: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, and Álvaro Carreras, who are expected to don the white shirt next season.

However, a surprising new twist has emerged in the transfer rumor mill. According to the reputable outlet Fichajes.net, Erling Haaland could be at the center of a potential player swap involving Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian forward is reportedly on Manchester City’s radar and may be on his way out of Madrid.

While nothing is official or even actively discussed as of May 16, the idea of a Rodrygo-for-Haaland exchange is gaining traction. Haaland has long been admired at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas headquarters, but despite ongoing interest, the Spanish giants have never submitted a formal offer.

Rodrygo’s Future in Doubt

Rodrygo’s status at the club is increasingly uncertain. Though immensely talented, he could become Real Madrid’s biggest sale of the summer. Club president Florentino Pérez is reportedly open to offers in the region of €100 million for the former Santos star.

Erling Haaland’s potential move, however, remains complicated. The Norwegian striker recently renewed his contract with Manchester City and appears settled in England, showing no immediate desire to leave. Even so, should Guardiola’s interest in Rodrygo intensify, it may open the door for Real Madrid to finally pursue their long-standing target.

For now, the idea remains a tantalizing possibility rather than an imminent reality. But in football—and especially in Madrid—anything can happen.
