Man City superstar 'interested' in joining rival club - Transfer Guru

Erling Haaland is “interested” in the possibility of moving to Real Madrid when he decides to leave Man City in the future.

This is according to former Man United, Tottenham and Aston Villa scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that Haaland could be tempted to make the move to the Bernabeu.

This comes following reports in Spain that the striker, 24, has already decided to leave City and pursue a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid.

While Brown reiterated his view that a move is unlikely to take place any time soon, he clarified that “every player” wants to play for Los Blancos.

Since joining Man City in 2022, Haaland has scored 102 goals in 110 games and is now widely regarded as the world’s best striker.

As a result, the current Champions League holders are interested in making him their latest Galactico signing following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the summer.

His current contract at the Etihad is set to run until the summer of 2027, but City remain keen to ensure his long-term future remains in England and will not entertain talks in the near future.

Erling Haaland interested in Real Madrid move as Man City stance revealed

Brown previously told Football Insider that the striker is not currently considering pushing for an exit from the Etihad despite links with a move to Spain.

However, the former scout, who has a wealth of experience working with players at the top level including over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, claimed players find it difficult to ignore interest from Real Madrid.

“He’s happy at City and City are happy with him and his performances,” he told Football Insider.

“But you can never discount the fact that somebody might, given the opportunity, want to go to Real Madrid.

“They want the Galacticos and they’re always looking at the best players in the world.

“Haaland, of course, is one of those, so of course there’s interest from their side and I don’t doubt he’d be interested in that move eventually.

“But I know Man City won’t entertain a situation where they might lose him.

“Real Madrid are always going to command interest from players. They’re the biggest club in the world and everybody wants to play for them.

“I’m sure he won’t be looking to leave City any time soon, but in the future, I wouldn’t discount seeing him move to Madrid.”
