According to reports, Real Madrid is thinking about using the €200 million (£175 million) release clause in Erling Haaland’s Manchester City contract during the summer transfer window of the following year.
Since moving to Man City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, the 23-year-old has been in incredible form, making 70 appearances across all competitions and tallying 67 goals and 12 assists.
With 52 goals and nine assists in 53 games last season, Haaland was a key player in the Citizens’ treble-winning campaign.
The Norway international, meanwhile, has managed three assists and fifteen goals in 17 appearances across all competitions this season.
Despite having four years remaining on his current contract, there have been rumors that Man City is eager to sign him to a new one.
