Manchseter City Skipper and Star boy Erling Haaland has finally left Ethihad Stadium this Evening to join his former teammate in European Giant Club
Find out how people close to Erling Haaland really feel about the rumours that he could join Real Madrid.
Recently, Erling Haaland has been linked to Real Madrid. A story says how people who know him well feel about this.
A little over a week ago, SPORT said that Carlo Ancelotti’s team wants to complete a deal for the Manchester City forward along with Kylian Mbappe by 2025.
Guardiola chose to sign Haaland to a contract until 2025, so the £150 million release clause that could have been used this summer was taken out of his deal at the Etihad Stadium in April of last year.
In January, it was said that City were quietly sure they would be able to keep the Norwegian international, even though there were rumours that the Spanish giants wanted to sign him.
How people who know Erling Haaland feel about the latest Real Madrid rumours
After all, rumours started swirling last month that the 23-year-old would join Real Madrid tomorrow if he had the chance.
It was also said that Erling Haaland loves his vacations in Spain and takes them every chance he gets since he owns a home in Marbella.

It was reported by The Athletic that people close to Erling Haaland think he “laughed off” the rumours about him being linked to Real Madrid.
More than that, it was said that the fee to possibly sign Haaland would be less than £200 million because the release options keep going off every year.
Contract talks between the 23-year-old and Manchester City are thought to be complicated by this very thing.
Erling Haaland has release options, but they might not be used in the future if he wants to leave Manchester City for Real Madrid or another club.
The story also says that the fact that Kylian Mbappe is going to join Los Merengues has made it more likely for the Norwegian to extend his contract beyond 2027.
Few people think that Paris Saint-Germain will try to sign the triple winner. Instead, they are thought to be focused on signing Victor Osimhen to replace the Frenchman.
It was said that Bayern Munich and Juventus didn’t like how long the Leeds-born striker’s deal was at Manchester City. Because of this, it is unlikely that they will try to sign him.
Neither is Erling Haaland said to want to sign with either team.
Real Madrid might even try to sign Erling Haaland, but it has been said that it would be hard to make the deal work.
Senior people in the white side of the Spanish capital think that if they signed the prolific striker, their other big-name stars, like Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, would expect a pay rise.
At the moment, the Brazilian winger is thought to make €12 million (£9.2 million) a year, while Haaland makes more than twice as much at City. The top team in Spain’s football league has a plan to build a team with a lot of great young players who will be paid relatively little.
While Florentino Perez may feel that now is the right time for Real Madrid to complete a deal for Erling Haaland, the club is not likely to try to sign him. For now, though, the club’s boss only wants to bring in one superstar every summer.
He might be more likely to sign a new deal with the Sky Blues if they give him a pay rise and change the way his buy-out options work.
