They refused to pay 200 million for Mbappe, the millions that Real Madrid would pay for Haaland

Erling Haaland, a target for Real Madrid

Haaland and Real Madrid

Erling Haaland is the striker of the moment. The Norwegian is significantly positioned as Manchester City’s big star, in only his second season at the club. Now, the player seems to arrive in an important way and place himself on the agendas of the main European clubs. Such is the case of teams like Real Madrid, who increasingly believe that Mbappe’s arrival is, at the very least, impossible.

Florentino Perez and those closest to him have done a commendable job in economic matters. To the point that now there will be no problem in 2024 to formalize entrenched operations. According to the newspaper As, Florentino Pérez’s next move will be a top galactico. 128 million and another 265′ extra to face a summer that will be remembered for a long time at Real Madrid.

The ECA (European Clubs Association) has a scale that measures the economic health of entities. It is the Efficiency Ratio: the percentage of a club’s total personnel expenses cannot be greater than 70% of total income. If last season Madrid was at 72% (519 million total expenses in salaries for 712 million final income).

The difficult situation with Erling Haaland

The other option, Erling Haaland, seems more distant since the Norwegian signed a contract until 2027 with Manchester City and appears happy in the Ciudadano team. He seems to have fit in perfectly with the team, the city, the fans and even with Pep Guardiola. In 2024 a clause of between 180 and 200 million is activated, but only for teams outside the Premier League.
