With just a few hours to go before the European transfer market closes, the Madrid community always leaves room for last-minute surprises. Among the names shaking up the white market, one in particular stands out and has rekindled the illusion in the merengue team: Erling Haaland.
The talented Norwegian striker was once again in the news, this time through his agent Rafaela Pimienta, who hinted at the possibility of a future move in an interview with El Chiringuito. This statement is particularly relevant considering the release clause in Haaland’s contract, which would allow him to leave Manchester City from July 2024 for an estimated sum of between €180m and €200m.
Haaland’s impressive goal tally in his first season as a City player, with 52 goals in 53 games, has made him an elite goalscorer that promises to shape the next decade in the world of football. In this regard, Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation, especially when the negotiations for Kylian Mbappé, always full of uncertainty, get complicated.
Real Madrid’s ‘9’ is still awaiting its owner and Erling Haaland would be the perfect finishing touch to the team’s rejuvenation project. Although this debate will be revived next summer, the big clubs in Europe are already monitoring the situation. If the French star needs time to make a decision, the possibility of signing Haaland could change the landscape drastically.
The ball is in Mbappé’s hands but Real Madrid are on the lookout for every opportunity. The ability to have both cocks in the same pen is intriguing and could define the future of the merengue team. The final days of the transfer market are always unpredictable and the Erling Haaland name has come to add even more excitement to the transfer market shutdown in Europe.
