Real Madrid are reportedly expected to sign Norwegian striker Erling Haaland from Manchester City in 2024.
Erling Haaland has been exceptional since his move to the Premier League. But Real Madrid reportedly have an agreement in place to bring the Norwegian striker to the Santiago Bernabeu from Manchester City at the end of next season, as per Fichajes.
There have been rumours that a clause in Haaland’s contract will allow the 22-year-old to leave for a fee of around €200 million in the summer of 2024. And it remains to be seen whether Florentino Perez is willing to shell out that kind of money for his services.
The youngster is one of the best strikers in the world, and he has hit the ground running in the Premier League so far. The former Borussia Dortmund striker has 25 goals in the league and is undoubtedly one of the best players in the Premier League right now.
Haaland has all the attributes to develop into a future superstar. And Real Madrid could certainly use someone like the Manchester City striker.
Star striker Karim Benzema is in his twilight years, and Real Madrid will have to replace him adequately in the coming seasons. However, they have not shown a willingness to invest in attackers recently. And Fichajes believe that the reason behind that is a potential agreement with the Haaland camp.
The Spanish club are hoping to bring the Premier League top scorer to Spain in 2024. And it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal across the line. A player of his potential will want to showcase his qualities at the highest level. And the opportunity to move to Real Madrid is likely to be a tempting proposition.
Although Manchester City are one of the best teams in the world, Real Madrid are a far bigger club. And Haaland will certainly see a move to them as a step up in his career. In addition, the situation at the Etihad amid the potential Premier League sanctions has prompted Los Blancos to monitor his situation.
The 22-year-old Is still quite young and will likely improve further with coaching and experience. A world-class manager like Carlo Ancelotti could help him develop further and fulfill his world-class potential.
Real Madrid need an attacking overhaul in the coming seasons. And they have been linked with the Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe as well. It remains to be seen whether Los Blancos can unite Mbappe and Haaland at Santiago Bernabeu in the coming seasons.
