Erling Haaland is already planning his next move after leaving Manchester City and it’ll be a big one as Real Madrid are awaiting.

Haaland has had an excellent first season at Manchester City already netting 25 Premier League goals and he has slotted into life in England seamlessly.

The Norwegian made a big move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer and has had no issues in scoring goals for his new side.

However, speculation has always been rife about his future and now Real Madrid President Florentino Perez is already plotting a move for him.

Manchester City could face unprecedented sanctions in English football after the Premier League alleged financial breaches, and its impact could force them to sell players.

Now, there are reports from Planeta Real Madrid that Haaland demanded that there be a clause in his contract that allows him to leave in 2024 and 2025.

There have been suggestions that manager Pep Guardiola and Haaland don’t see eye to eye when it comes to the tactical side, despite Haaland’s excellent goalscoring form since moving to the club.

According to the same source, Perez has an agreement with Haaland’s father and Haaland himself that in two years’ time, he will be playing at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Perez has reportedly been open to the idea of signing Haaland as early as 2024 and that is due to the drop in form from Karim Benzema, who has declined a tad over the last few months.

Haaland has a contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2027 but the reported clause in his contract makes it a complicated matter for the English champions.

The added factor of the Premier League allegations makes it even more difficult to predict where Haaland will end up or whether they will have to sell players in the future.
