Erling Haaland, a Manchester City superstar, has selected Real Madrid as his future club and will utilise their Champions League quarter-final match as an opportunity to impress the Spanish giants.
According to a report by AS, the striker sees Manchester City as a stepping stone to Real Madrid.
The Norway international has a deal with the Etihad until 2027, and the Premier League club will not want to lose him anytime soon, since the 23-year-old has been a huge success in Manchester. In 87 appearances with City, Haaland has scored 81 goals and assisted 15 times.
Many consider the Norwegian to be the best striker in the world, and he will undoubtedly be on Real Madrid’s short list.
However, the Manchester City star will be staying put this summer.
Real Madrid will be exploring a 2025 move for Manchester City’s Erling Haaland
The allegation appears to be contrived, considering Haaland already faced Real Madrid in the Champions League last season, and with a quarter-final showdown against the La Liga giants coming up next month, the Norwegian international is unlikely to be looking to prove a point.
It also appears cruel to refer to Manchester City as a stepping stone, given that the club has won three titles and is often recognised as the best team in the world.
Real Madrid will consider a move for Haaland in 2025 as one of the final parts of the super team they are assembling.
This summer, the focus will be on getting Kylian Mbappe and others to the Bernabeu, with the attention fast shifting to the Manchester City superstar next summer, but the Spanish club will face a difficult task in convincing the Premier League club to part ways with their star player.
