Fabrizio Romano’s Insight on Erling Haaland’s Rumored Transfer to Real Madrid

The Norwegian striker seems happy to be with Manchester City, but he may be available in 2024.

Erling Haaland has demonstrated to be a top performer and a key playmaker for Manchester City, helping Pep

Guardiola and company win the treble (Europe’s Supercoap, Premier League and UEFA Champions League) last year. However, it is well known that the relationship between the Catalan manager and Haaland is not the greatest, and this may be the reason the 22 year old striker may be looking for new job offers.

Real Madrid’s CEO Florentino Pérez has been so interested in signing French boystar, Kylian Mbappé, but the negotiations have failed since 2021 and in 2022 also. Now, Erling Haaland may be in Real Madrid’s sight to reinforce the Merengues for the 2024/2025 season, as the Norwegian contract with Manchester City has a recession clause that guarantees his exit from the club in 2024.

“The open door can mean many things. The important thing here is that our players have the feeling that destiny is in their hands”, spoke Rafaela Pimenta, Erling Haaland’s Brazilian manager, to the Spanish newsmedia ‘El Chiringuito’. She didn’t detail more on Haaland’s contract due to legal issues that she may suffer.

Fabrizio Romano, football insider, made a compilation of Pep Guardiola’s answers in an interview he had with English sports magazine, BeanymanSports, about Erling Haaland’s performance, “My advice about Erling Haaland is not to criticize him too much. Criticize the full-backs, the centre-backs, the coach, but never the forward who is scoring all the goals. Because he… you know. And you’ll feel like you need to apologize”.

How much does Haaland costs?

Erling Braut Haaland, the 22 year old striker from Manchester City has achieved great things in his short professional career. He already has won the UEFA Champions League of the 2022/2023 season, the Europe’s SuperCoap, hes been champion of the Premier League, and was awarded with the UEFA’s Player of the Year trophy for his performance in the previous campaign.

His recession clause is until June 30th 2027, nevertheless, there is an exit clause on his contract that grants the free decision to leave Manchester City in 2024. Erling Haaland is valued for 180 million euros (192.1 mdlls) according to Transfermarkt.
