Haaland will have seen how it went down for Mbappe and PSG over the summer

PSG have assembled a fantastic team, and if they play their cards right, there’s probably not a single team in the world that can stop them from winning the Champions League. But, with so many massive egos in the squad, playing the cards right isn’t easy for the players or for the manager. Besides, the way that PSG handled Mbappe’s case this season, it wouldn’t be the craziest thing to assume that maybe Haaland wouldn’t want to play at a club that doesn’t let their players leave easily, if at all.

Mbappe made it clear in a very respectful way that he wanted to leave PSG, and he said it this season instead of leaving for free because he wanted to honor his promise to PSG that the Frenchman would only leave for a transfer fee. What did PSG do? PSG ignored his request, and also ignored all of Real Madrid’s offers, and the deadline passed.

Let’s say Haaland joins PSG, but decides in a couple of years that he wants to leave. Would he be able to do that? PSG, as a club, is very different to clubs like Real Madrid. Perez has said it many times in the past, he won’t keep a player hostage if he wants to leave, and no one’s exception to that rule. Raphael Varane left because he wanted to try something new. Letting him go in the same summer they lost Sergio Ramos says a lot about how Real operates.

PSG will probably offer Haaland a bigger contract than Real Madrid, but money is not everything, Haaland knows that.
