Man City will try to compete with Real Madrid in the hunt for Erling Haaland

By db-admin

DBasia.news – The hunt for Erling Haaland next summer is getting fiercer. Manchester City are ready to make the Norwegian striker turn away from Real Madrid.

Haaland is almost certain to leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of this season. The active release clause of €75 million is the main reason.

Even so, Madrid is believed to be in the forefront in obtaining Haaland. It could not be separated from the player’s desire to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

As one of the European giants, Madrid does have its own charm for star players. Not many players turn down the opportunity to wear the Los Blancos’ jersey.

Even so, Madrid did not make Haaland their main target. The Spanish giants want to focus first on securing the services of Kylian Mbappe, who will be on a free transfer next summer.

This was reported directly by Spanish radio broadcaster, Josep Pedrerol. He is one of the closest people to the president of Madrid, Florentino Perez.

This condition is actually considered by Manchester City as a gap to sign Haaland. The Citizens are ready to convince the former Molde player to move to the Etihad Stadium following in his father’s footsteps.

According to The Athletic report, Manchester City are ready to do everything they can to realize Haaland’s transfer. One of them is to fulfill the request for a high salary from the person concerned.

The steps taken by Manchester City are reasonable. They lack a pure centre-forward after parting ways with Sergio Aguero last summer.

Manchester City’s attempt to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur ended tragically. That moment made the relationship between the two clubs deteriorate.

Manchester City’s opportunity to sign Haaland is quite open. Although it also still depends on the maneuvers of Madrid and other big clubs.
