Manchester City Delivers Transfer Setback to Real Madrid in Pursuit of Erling Haaland

Pep-Guardiola

The rumors of Erling Haaland’s potential transfer to Real Madrid have circled for some time. The Spanish capital had once been seen as a potential destination for the Norwegian sensation before he ultimately joined Manchester City. This decision has proven to be a resounding success, with the club clinching a remarkable treble in his debut season, while Haaland himself amassed 52 goals and shattered numerous all-time records.

These extraordinary achievements have propelled him into contention for the prestigious Ballon d’Or, standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Lionel Messi. Consequently, it comes as no surprise that rumors linking him to a move to Real Madrid have resurfaced.

On one front, it’s been suggested that a release clause in his contract will become active in the summer of 2024, potentially making Real Madrid a prime suitor.

Conversely, Real Madrid has long pursued Kylian Mbappe but has been unable to secure a deal. There are now indications that Mbappe might extend his stay with PSG, potentially making Haaland the most attractive alternative. In fact, many pundits argue that Haaland may even surpass the Frenchman in talent.

Manchester City, understandably, is determined to keep Haaland on their roster. The Daily Star reports that they are preparing a lucrative £600,000-per-week contract extension offer for Haaland, which would run beyond June 2027. This substantial deal aims to ensure he remains in Manchester and doesn’t succumb to the allure of Real Madrid or the Saudi Pro League.

Such a contract would make Haaland the highest earner in the Premier League by a considerable margin. Given Manchester City’s current trajectory and successes, there appears to be little incentive for Haaland to depart, unless he harbors a desire for a new challenge.
