Erling Haaland is potentially on the move from Manchester City for a staggering €100 million, with Real Madrid emerging as a possible destination if they fail to secure Kylian Mbappé. Rumors from sources like the Daily Mail and AS suggest that Madrid might opt for Haaland, paying only half of his City release clause.
While Madrid is actively pursuing Mbappé, whose PSG contract is nearing its end, reports indicate Mbappé may not be entirely satisfied with their efforts. In the event of Mbappé’s deal falling through, Haaland could become the primary target.
Having excelled at Manchester City with 71 goals and 14 assists in 75 games since his £51 million move from Borussia Dortmund, Haaland could be viewed as a fitting replacement for the void left by Karim Benzema at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s current attacking force, led by Joselu, lacks the desired level of prowess. While players like Vinicius and Rodrygo show promise, they aren’t natural strikers. The departure of Karim Benzema to the Saudi Pro League has left Madrid without a suitable replacement so far.
Haaland’s release clause, valued at approximately €200 million but applicable only to English Premier League clubs, could be halved for teams in other leagues. This reduced price makes him an enticing prospect for Real Madrid in La Liga.
