Real Madrid remain open to a 2024 transfer push to sign Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland.
Los Blancos were tracking the Norwegian star prior to his move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester in 2021, but opted against making a formal offer.
The sense in Madrid at that point was of Haaland being destined to join the Premier League champions and he is already a central part of Pep Guardiola’s treble winners.
However, Real Madrid are still considering a move to trigger his rumoured £200m release clause in 2024, as uncertainty grows over their plan to sign Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe’s Paris Saint-Germain contract expires in June, and despite Real Madrid rumoured to be closing in on their No.1 target, there are alternate reports claiming they are prepared to walk away from free contract talks.
As per the latest update from Diario AS, Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta has insisted she wants to ensure her client remains in control of his own destiny, but insisted a recent trip to Madrid was not Haaland related.
Pimenta has looked to distance herself from any immediate change but she is open to the possibility of brokering a move to Madrid in future.
I’d frankly prefer Haaland over Mbappe. Him and Bellingham are friends and have chemistry together.
He also balances team better.
But I wont say no to Mbappe either.
Either which, a buy will happen – win win for us fans and the next decade of dominance in Liga is loading.
Pretty nice to have a healthy economy and pick and choose from top talent instead of table scraps and free agents.
“The sense in Madrid at that point was of Haaland being destined to join the Premier League champions…”.
Where did this come from? Haaland was on the record as saying he wanted to move to Spain at that time. He shopped around and Barca were broke so that left only Real Madrid… he wanted the move but Florentino Perez had his nose so far up Mbappe’s b*tt that nothing else was visible. No one imagined Mbappe rejecting Madrid for more money… now it is a face saving operation for us because elapsed time has let the cat out of the bag – this guy is a now a known diva and the chances of him disrupting the team spirit is very high… compared to Haaland who has the right characteristics of a goal scoring forward that Madrid always needs in the front. Bonus is that he keeps his feet on the ground and just does his job (crazy well). That is why we built that astonishing young supply line in the middle, right? Haaland’s profile is closer to Cristiano Ronaldo… and we know what the results are when we put someone like him in front of a world class midfield.
Not a chance he’ll move to Madrid in the next 4 years he’s currently at the best team with the best manager in the world M.C.F.C
yes, Neymar was in allegedly worlds best club with allegedly worlds best player and then the buyout happened
I will definitely go for Haaland and if Madrid make an offer now he ll join them
Theres an entire documentary on Haalands choice of clubs in Norwegian. It’s obvious that Real Madrid was keen. He choose City after careful consideration, that’s all.
and Neymar was in love with Barcelona when it all started.
believe it or not, minds can change.
