Real Madrid, the Spanish club, placed Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, player of the English club Manchester City and top scorer in the Premier League, in his priorities to include him in the summer of 2024.
According to the newspaper "ace" Spanish, Real Madrid aims to contract with Haaland in the summer of 2024 because it is the time when the penalty clause in his contract with Manchester City will begin to be activated, which the Spanish newspaper expects to be between 220 to 240 million euros.
And the Spanish newspaper said that Haaland can leave Manchester City, starting in the summer of 2024, for a price ranging between 220 to 240 million euros, and the penalty clause in Haaland’s contract, according to reports, is linked to the contract of his coach, Pep Guardiola, which ends in 2025.
Real Madrid’s plan is based on signing Haaland in 2024 to be the successor to the team’s striker, French Karim Benzema, who may extend his contract for another season.
The newspaper stressed that the royal club had developed another plan to sign Kylian Mbappe, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, whose contract with Paris, according to reports, expires in 2024, with the possibility of extending it for another season, but the agreement on that was between the player and his club.
The newspaper confirmed that Real Madrid wants to combine the trio Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior in the team’s attack, and the European champion will not suffer in providing salaries for new players, after getting rid of the team’s stars such as Luka Modric, Eden Hazard, and perhaps Toni Kroos at the same time.
