AS, a Spanish media outlet, reported that Real Madrid continues to be interested in signing Erling Haaland. The reigning La Liga champions consider the 22-year-old a priority target for the 2024 summer transfer window. But his release clause is between €220 million and €240 million, which is a substantial amount.
Erling Haaland’s career is on the rise. He has already made a significant impact despite not reaching the peak of his career yet. He first gained attention during his short time with Red Bull Salzburg. There he scored numerous goals in the first half of the 2019/20 season. Borussia Dortmund acquired him in January 2020, and since then, he has been a prolific scorer.
Erling Haaland spent two and a half fruitful seasons with Borussia Dortmund before joining the Premier League. Since moving to Manchester City, the 22-year-old’s progress has been remarkable, with an impressive record of 42 goals in 37 appearances. This remarkable performance has attracted the interest of several clubs, including Real Madrid.
Real Madrid prioritizing Erling Haaland move
Real Madrid has been interested in the young striker since his days at Red Bull Salzburg. That interest has continued since his arrival at Manchester City. However, they decided not to sign him last summer, as Karim Benzema has been performing exceptionally well for the past five years.
Karim Benzema has had fitness problems this season, and with the veteran striker entering the final stage of his career, Real Madrid needs a succession plan. Although Endrick is ready to arrive in less than 18 months, the young Brazilian is still inexperienced and not yet ready to replace the Frenchman. Therefore, Haaland could be a suitable candidate to fill the void for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid sees the 22-year-old prolific scorer, Erling Haaland, as the perfect replacement for Karim Benzema. AS reports that he is their top priority for the 2024 summer transfer window. However, Haaland has a significant release clause of between €220 million and €240 million.
Although Real Madrid has a reputation for spending large sums of money, it remains to be seen whether they will pay such a hefty price for Haaland. However, it has been reported that they will not sign him this summer. It will be intriguing to see if the Norwegian striker makes a move to the club in the 2024 summer transfer window.
