Real Madrid want to sign Erling Haaland from Manchester City by utilizing a release clause that will become active in 2024, but the Premier League champions will aim to thwart the plan.
According to El Chiringuito TV, the 22-year-old striker can be signed for €200 million in 2024 due to a clause that was negotiated in his contract when he joined City from Borussia Dortmund for €60m this summer.
However, Mundo Deportivo reveals that Pep Guardiola’s side is already working on a move to hand Haaland a new deal that would void the future clause. Given that he earns in the region of £ 375,000 per week, the Citizens may have to make the Norway international their highest earner if they are to persuade him to stay.
Haaland scored a hat trick against Manchester United on Sunday for a total of 14 goals in just eight games so far, just nine more of equalling last year’s Golden Boot-winning tally.
