Erling Haaland has been back to his best in recent weeks, but it could end up being his final season as a Man City player.
Haaland has been on Real Madrid’s radar for many years, but 2026 could be the time that he males that move to the Santiago Bernabeu. There has been movement in recent weeks, which could set up a blockbuster transfer.
Erling Haaland backed to leave Man City for Real Madrid
As per Football Insider, Keith Wyness expressed his belief that Haaland has a very good chance of leaving Man City next summer, amid Real Madrid preparations to sign him.
“Haaland has a contract until 2034, so it would take him to decide that he wanted to move and Man City to decide that they want to cash in on him. There’s a lot of talk about Vinicius Junior going from Real Madrid to Saudi. The rumours of £200m for Vinicius Junior could be one thing that would allow Real Madrid to have the power to make a bid for Haaland.
“The rumours are that Real Madrid are talking to his agent, and all they’re doing right now is asking, if we did come in with a bid, do you think there’s a chance he might be interested? And it’s not beyond the realms of possibility, despite this long contract, that a deal could be done. If Vinicius Junior goes, as I say, then there becomes a bit of a domino effect. and it becomes feasible. So there’s probably a little bit more to it than meets the eye.
“I could see Haaland leaving at the end of this season. He’s scored obviously a lot of goals for City and it may be time for him to move on. Maybe he does want to go to Real Madrid for four or five years. I would say it’s still unlikely, but I think there is more than just a whiff of fantasy about this. There’s something to this.”
For now, Man City will be hoping that Haaland stays for many years to come, and they are certainly covered with his contract.
Yet another speculative piece of journalism. Anyone could have a guess. I could also report it’s from inside the club. It doesn’t even make circumstantial evidence. When there is nothing to report make it up.
Why are they always looking for how to destabilize Man city. When the tide was rough and tight nobody remembered the Halaand will move not even the 115 charges was mentioned, now the team is gradually getting themselves back and this noise is coming up. first it was Rodri to Real Madrid, now its going to be Halaand to Real Madrid. Maybe we can transfer man city to Spain as an appendage of Real Madrid. English press leave us alone m We have the right to exist as a club and the right to have the quality staff to win trophies
Probably because it’s become part of the game to affect change.
The fans, prompted by media debate don’t get to affect what happens on the pitch, so the media becomes their 12th man, so to speak.
It has an emotional effect.
It’s nowhere near as bad as barracking with prejudicial remarks from the terraces though.
If it ain’t City, it’s Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal. Whoever’s at the top cops it to knock ’em off.
City until Mancini/Pep had never had such success.
In order to keep on that success, winning becomes a whole new ball game.
Re. Haaland.
If I were a City fan, I’d start worrying about it when it’s official. At the moment such stories put out are there to sell newspapers.
You’re full of jokes bro, you can’t do that!
Nice jokes are fine.
Even satirical ones.
One doesn’t do racism, misogyny, homophobia (and its offshoots), xenophobia, disability jokes OR sectarianism.
Unless the punch line is aimed at those having a pop at those who would try to groom us all into such for their own profit, whatever tier in society they operate.
Can’t stop humour, pal, but we can do our best to out the wrong’uns and those who like to victim blame.
It’s always worth spending a moment to think about whether others are spinning a story to set footy fans against each to the point of making it personal, or worse, to violence.
Who does it benefit when e.g. City and LFC fans turn on each other ?
The game’s best kept on the pitch.
