Haaland, Ready to Join Real Madrid in 2025 with the Same Condition as Mbappé: “He Has…”
The Norwegian striker signed with City in 2022 after an excellent season with Borussia Dortmund.
The player’s desire for a change of scenery gains strength after Real Madrid secures the French player.
Real Madrid has been planning for the next season for some time now. With the ‘Mbappé saga’ practically settled, due to the Frenchman’s refusal to renew with PSG and his firm desire to wear white, the club has now set its sights on other targets, such as Alphonso Davies, Leny Yoro, and Franco Mastantuono, among others.
At Concha Espina, they closely monitor the steps taken by certain players who have always been on their radar. Erling Haaland is one such case, the Manchester City striker who will face Real Madrid again next Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-final return leg after the draw at the Santiago Bernabéu (3-3) this Tuesday where the Norwegian was absent. The excellent work between Tchouameni and Rudiger ‘neutralized’ the striker, who delivered a very discreet performance with minimal involvement in Guardiola’s team.
However, far from waning, Madrid’s interest in the player increases significantly. Although of Norwegian origin, Haaland was born in England while his father played for Leeds. The striker has a contract with the ‘citizens’ until 2027, and Saudi Arabia is reportedly already trying to offer him a renewal with a substantial salary increase, given that the ‘9’ is the second-highest-paid player in the current squad, only surpassed by De Bruyne.
The intention of the British club is clear, as from this summer, according to the current contract, he can leave City if he wishes. While the clause is considerable for teams in Great Britain (around 250 million euros), the amount decreases significantly for clubs outside the islands. And Real Madrid is a risky option, knowing this in Manchester.
The player, who arrived in England in 2022 after a magnificent campaign at Borussia Dortmund, had planned to stay at City for at least another year, but with Mbappé’s more than likely signing for Real Madrid, things have changed. And the Norwegian would be willing to change clubs and play at the Bernabéu. According to ‘As’, the striker owns 100% of his image rights and would seek a contract similar to that of the Frenchman, but Real Madrid has not yet commented on the matter. Additionally, the club has a lot of confidence in Endrick, who will join Carlo Ancelotti’s team this summer. Only time will tell…
