Manchester City star Erling Haaland is reportedly on Real Madrid’s radar, and the prolific striker is set to cost the La Liga champions €200m as they prepare a record-breaking bid to lure him to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Club president Florentino Perez is piecing together a plan to rebuild the squad, with Haaland the centrepiece, and has no idea what will happen with Brazilian stars Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr.
Haaland’s star performances in the Premier League and Champions League have drawn Europe’s elite clubs to him.
Manchester City and Haaland’s Impact
Since joining Manchester City, Haaland has been one of the most feared strikers in football and has proven an exceptional mix of speed, technical skill, and finishing accuracy since arriving at the Etihad.
His impact on the pitch has been undeniable, scoring 104 goals in only 112 games.
But as Real Madrid’s interest grows and rumours emerge of Pep’s desire for new challenges, City are finding it difficult to hang on to their Norwegian sensation.
The Norwegian who scored a remarkable backheel volley in the Champions League contract runs until 2027, so City have some leverage, but they may find themselves up against Madrid’s financial strength.

La Liga on the Horizon
Real Madrid’s storied history and competitive legacy could be a big draw for Haaland. As revealed by Fichajes, Real’s €200 million offer could force Manchester City to part with such a crucial player, far from ideal for the Premier League club.
However, City may find itself pressed to take Madrid’s bid seriously as the summer approaches, with Haaland’s continued insistence he is exploring new career horizons.
