Man City superstar Erling Haaland is not fully settled in Manchester. In fact, he even eyes a future Real Madrid transfer dream.
Unsurprisingly, Man City had a pretty impressive showing in the UEFA Champions League this week. They slotted five past Sparta Prague, with Erling Haaland scoring a brace. His two goals featured one of the most impressive acrobatic goals in the competition this season.
However, this is not the reason why Erling Haaland is making the news this week. After all, it is now getting to the point where nobody is surprised to see him score goals on the big stage anymore. Fans are quite accustomed his usual goal-scoring antics.
Man City superstar wants to join Real Madrid in the future
According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Erling Haaland has his eye on a Real Madrid transfer in the future. Despite being under contract until 2027, Erling Haaland still harbours hopes to become a superstar in the Spanish capital.
Mundo Deportivo cites Sky Sports and also claims that the interest is mutual between two parties. Real Madrid are seemingly just as interested in the transfer as Erling Haaland is.
Admittedly, this news does come at a coincidental time. After all, it was just this week that Real Madrid's regret in signing Kylian Mbappe was reported.
Of course, Kylian Mbappe is a superstar and one of the best players in the world. However, Real Madrid is yet to see his talent on full display. He has had a rocky start to life in the Spanish capital.
So, whether or not Real Madrid see Kylian Mbappe as the long-term option remains to be seen. It would be a fast jump to write off Mbappe, so soon after making the contract investment.
That said, Erling Haaland can only improve a team. Since Man City signed him in the summer of 2022, they have gone from strength to strength.
There are question marks over whether Erling Haaland is the complete package. However, this is simply a case of nit-picking. With the amount of goals in a season that Haaland promises, managers couldn't care less about his all-round ability in build-up play.
Real Madrid were interested in signing Erling Haaland in the past. So, it's no surprise that the club is still interested in signing him some point down the line. Real Madrid often plays the long-game with their transfer targets, so Erling Haaland is certainly someone to watch going forward.
