Erling Haaland might join Real Madrid amid Man City’s Premier League survival uncertainty

Erling Haaland could reportedly aim for a shift in his career by leaving Manchester City to join the Spanish champions, Real Madrid in the next summer transfer window. The Norwegian striker is currently enjoying a great deal of success in the English Premier League with the Cityzens, having already scored seven goals in just three games this season.

Meanwhile, Defensa Central has reported that the 23-year-old superstar might end up signing for the Spanish supergiants next summer should certain events unfold at his current club as predicted.

Erling Haaland to push for Real Madrid move

Erling Haaland has been one of the biggest signings for Manchester City in recent years. The prolific attacker is a beast in front of goals and the City coach Pep Guardiola has always relied on the former Borussia Dortmund player to deliver on big occasions.

The Norwegian is in a red hot form and has scored 97 goals across all competitions for the Manchester-based outfit. As he continues to enjoy his scoring exploits with the Cityzens, many elite European clubs have been interested in acquiring his service, with Real Madrid being one of them.

However, there are certain dice that must fall into line if Los Blancos are to sign the most sought-after forward in Europe right now. Haaland is more than happy in Manchester at the moment. In the last summer window he shrugged off all transfer rumors linking him to the Spanish side. But, in the wake of several unprecedented situations, the Norwegian could push to join Real Madrid.

According to several media reports, City manager Pep Guardiola might leave the club after his contract runs out in 2025. In addition to this woe, the defending English champions are facing 115 charges for breaching Premier League regulations. If found guilty, the Abu Dhabi United Group-backed club could face point deduction or relegation. The future of the English side in the English top flight could be in jeopardy. All these situations might result in Haaland leaving the club for his long-time admirers Real Madrid.

Real Madrid targets Haaland

Real Madrid is creating a new Galactico era at the club, and Kylian Mbappe has already joined the cause. While the signing of the French sensation faced obstacles, Real president Florentino Perez showed his interest in signing Haaland. However, the City striker decided to stay at the Etihad eventually. After the arrival of Mbappe, Perez could reignite their pursuit of the Norwegian in a bid to build a formidable squad next summer.

Haaland has a moderate release clause attached to his City contract. Many believe that it would not be an issue for a rich club like Real Madrid to trigger that clause. If Guardiola leaves Manchester or the club faces penalties like relegation, then Haaland also might agree to join the Los Blancos galactico in 2025. The La Liga champions are also keen on signing another big City player Rodri. The Spanish midfielder played a vital role in Guardiola’s side’s treble winning campaign last season. With the Cityzens facing a potentially troublesome future, these two superstars could push for moves to Santiago Bernabeu.

Perez has already shown interest in Haaland earlier, and reports from Spain suggest that the Real president is optimistic about uniting the Norwegian with Mbappe on the attacking front in white shirts. If Haaland arrives then Los Blancos would offload one of their attacking stars like Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo, with the latter already being linked with the Cityzens.
