Real Madrid is reportedly ready to make a significant bid for Erling Haaland if one of their current players leaves the team this summer.
Fichajes states that with Erling Haaland possibly leaving Manchester City, Real Madrid is preparing a €200 million offer for the Norwegian forward. Should one of the Brazilian players exit Real Madrid next summer, many believe the powerful attacker could replace Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo Goes.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid is facing several issues behind the scenes. The recent Clasico defeat and the Ballon d’Or controversy have left many speculating about the future of some key players on the team.
According to sources, Vinicius Junior, currently caught in the Ballon d’Or debate, is reluctant to sign a new contract with Real Madrid. As a result, the club may aim to acquire Erling Haaland from Manchester City if they need to sell the Brazilian to one of his admirers next summer.
Saudi clubs showed interest in Vinicius throughout the summer and were willing to pay a significant transfer fee alongside an estimated €350 million annual salary. Furthermore, Rodrygo Goes’ future remains uncertain. Florentino Perez is reportedly prepared to pay around €200 million for the Norwegian, so if Real Madrid chooses to trade one of those Brazilian stars, they will likely pursue Haaland.
Rumors suggest that Haaland might consider joining Real Madrid, especially if Manchester City faces challenges in the Premier League. Many sports fans believe that the Norwegian has reached personal success with Pep Guardiola’s team and would be open to playing in La Liga.
For instance, it has been reported that Haaland, a Norwegian player with considerable influence over his future, desires a release clause in any new contract he signs with Manchester City. The club may contemplate selling if a fitting offer is made, although their response to such a request remains unclear.
To maintain their team’s star power if one of its Brazilian players leaves, Real Madrid is keen on the Norwegian forward. If they manage to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer, Haaland would be an ideal addition. Even if either Vinicius or Rodrygo departs, this would help sustain Real Madrid’s attacking strength.
