Erling Haaland unlikely to leave Manchester City until 2027; Barcelona, Real Madrid feel he has clauses in contract
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club, with Barcelona and Real Madrid interested in him.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in signing Erling Haaland. The two clubs feel that there are clauses in his contract regarding a potential departure.
It remains to be seen whether they decide to try and test Manchester City’s resolve with an offer at the end of the season. The Norwegian international cost Manchester City £51 million, and he is one of the best players in the world. Signing him would be a huge boost for both Spanish clubs.
However, the report claims that he is unlikely to leave Manchester City until 2027. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs decide to come forward with a proposal to get the deal done.
Real Madrid have been using Kylian Mbappe as their central striker, but the French international is more suited to a wider role. Signing a reliable striker would be a wise decision. The Norwegian is certainly a quality player, and he could make a big difference for Real Madrid in the final third.
As far as Barcelona are concerned, Robert Lewandowski is in the twilight stages of his career, and he will need to be replaced. It remains to be seen which of the two clubs can get the deal done for Haaland.
La Liga move could be tempting
Haaland has proven himself in the Premier League with Manchester City, and he could be open to trying out a new challenge. A move to Spain could be an exciting opportunity for him. Real Madrid and Barcelona are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down.
The Norwegian striker is already a world-class player, and he has helped Manchester City win major trophies. He might feel that this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Moving to Spain could be interesting for him. However, it seems unlikely that he will force an exit from the Premier League club. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
