After just one year of joining Man City, Erling Haaland has gone from star to world football superstar. Most recently, this striker reached the top 2 of the 2023 Golden Ball thanks to his achievement of winning the treble with The Citizens last season.
That excellent form has been maintained into this season. Statistics show that Haaland has 17 goals in 18 matches in all competitions for Man City. He continues to be the leader of the defending Champions League champion in the context of Kevin De Bruyne’s injury.
The more mature and perfect Haaland becomes, the more reason Man City has to worry. Because there are big men out there trying to entice the Norwegian player to leave Etihad.
Including Real Madrid is indispensable. The Spanish Royal Club is said to be leaning towards recruiting Haaland instead of pursuing Mbappe.
Sharing about the possibility of Haaland returning to Real Madrid in the future, his representative, Ms. Rafaela Pimenta, affirmed that her client has the right to decide her own future. At the same time, this female super agent also did not deny the prospect that Haaland could leave Man City.
“Erling Haaland has always been the master of his own destiny. He will always do what is good for himself and for his current club, Man City. When all parties are open to a change, it will happen.
Erling will always maintain a respectful attitude and that also comes from both sides. Man City also respects players. If one day something new happens, we will agree step by step with the club.” Relevo quoted Haaland’s representative as saying.
The right to self-determination that Ms. Pimenta mentioned is said to refer to the release clause in Haaland’s contract with Man City. Through it, big clubs like Real Madrid can own the Norwegian super striker in case negotiations cannot be achieved.
For its part, Real Madrid is clearly the most attractive club in the world for every player. In addition to its rich history, there is currently a very strong and young team with the potential to compete for all titles in the next 5-10 years with Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Tchouameni or Camavinga…
However, a blockbuster deal will only be activated from next year at the earliest, when Haaland’s release clause is said to only be effective from 2024 onwards. Currently, he is still happy at Man City and with the team aims to defend the Premier League and Champions League titles.
