Haaland’s Camp Confirms He Wants to Sign for Real Madrid

People close to Haaland leak his interest in joining Real Madrid in the coming years

Lately, with the ongoing saga surrounding Vinícius Júnior’s future and Erling Haaland’s outstanding performances, talk has begun to surface about the Brazilian’s possible departure and the Norwegian’s potential arrival. It would be quite surprising, since they play in different positions, but they are two of the best footballers in the world. Without a doubt, it would be a move that would shake the football world.

The Manchester City striker has always had great admiration for Real Madrid, the club he has seen succeed the most in recent years. Cristiano Ronaldo—one of his biggest idols—played here. That, along with the club’s winning mentality, would be the main reasons why the player is very keen on coming. It’s something that his inner circle is not hiding. “People close to Erling Haaland say that the player ‘would really like to play for Real Madrid,’” sources at Goal report.

This information has been published in previous years, as Real Madrid have considered signing Haaland multiple times. However, they ultimately decided to go for Kylian Mbappé, who already represents a major investment, both in terms of signing bonus and salary. The transfer of the Norwegian would be extremely expensive, and on top of that, one must consider the signing bonuses usually collected by his agent and his father.

Nothing decided

For now, Real Madrid’s plan is to renew Vinícius Júnior’s contract. This is something they will try to achieve in the coming months before the summer. If the situation remains unresolved, the club will consider selling the Brazilian to avoid losing him for free in 2027, when his contract expires.

The main goal of the Madrid star is to extend his deal—but not at any price. He believes he should receive a top-tier salary, significantly higher than what the club is currently offering.
