According to a recent Forbes story, Real Madrid is already planning for the future and is looking to the PremierPINC -0.7% League to reinforce their front line by bringing in Manchester City player Erling Haaland.
Real Madrid may be planning their next move, according to TF1’s Telefoot and AS. The Spanish publication says that Los Blancos might activate a release clause in Haaland’s contract in 2024, allowing for a transaction to be done for a sum ranging from €220 million ($241.5 million) to €240 million ($263.4 million).
The conjecture builds on a spark lit by Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimienta in February, when she told AS, “it is difficult to address this,” when questioned about the existence of a release clause. “If I don’t say something, it will be misconstrued,” she explained. “Everything I say will be questioned. As a result, I’d rather not say anything.” NYSC Portal
Haaland joined Manchester City in 2022 for a cost of £51 million ($63.4 million), which may grow to £85.5 million ($106.3 million), and has since scored 47 goals in 40 games for Pep Guardiola’s squad.
The move would provide Real Madrid with a future option to replace current number nine Karim Benzema. The French international will be 36 this year, and while his contract is set to expire this summer, it is anticipated to be extended for another year. JAMB Exam Outcome
According to AS, the transfer would have no impact on a prospective agreement for Paris Saint-Kylian Germain’s Mbappé. The continuous soap opera between the France captain and a move to the Spanish capital continues, albeit new indications from the club appear to imply a cooling of interest.
