The Manchester City player Erling Haaland says he would “sign for [Real] Madrid tomorrow” if he could. AS says he can do that for only $109.5 million (€100 million), which is a pretty small fee if Los Blancos pays that much to use his release option.

They paid €60 million, or $65.6 million, to get the Norwegian out of his contract and sign him with the Premier League giants in the summer of 2022.

After that, Haaland had a great first season in Manchester. He scored a lot of goals and helped Pep Guardiola’s team win the treble.

For both the man and the club, this was their first Champions League title. They beat Real Madrid in the semi-finals to win it.

Both of these European giants are still in the running to win the big-eared prize in 2023 or 2024. They might play each other again near the end of the knockout stage.

Madrid wants to make their team better for next season, though, no matter how Carlo Ancelotti does as head coach now that he has been hired.

According to Foot Mercato, president Florentino Perez has already made an offer to Kylian Mbappe, which the French player, who will be a free agent at Paris Saint-Germain on June 30, has accepted in the past few days.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s time is slowly running out. At this point, Mbappe and Haaland are seen as the biggest stars of the next generation.

But in the Spanish press, Haaland is being talked about as a possible “Plan B” for Madrid in case they can’t get both players.

AS says that Madrid has “good news” about Haaland’s release clause, which was thought to be €200 million, which is about $219 million.

This fee is only for Premier League teams, the newspaper has heard. Anyone from outside the British Isles who wants to buy it will have to pay only $109 million (€100 million), which is a lot less.
