Real Madrid have reportedly made financial moves in order for them to fund a potential transfer move for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
The striker is only in his second season at the Manchester club since joining from Borussia Dortmund back in the 2022 summer transfer window.
Despite that, it has now been reported that one of Europe’s top clubs have started to get their finances in check with an eye on launching a future transfer move for the City star.
Real making financial moves to build Haaland transfer deal
According to a recent report from AS, Real have made financial moves behind the scenes in order to allow them to spend significant amounts of money on new players, with Haaland and Kylian Mbappe on their transfer list.
Since arriving at the Etihad Stadium, the Norwegian has made 71 appearances for the Citizens across all competitions prior to this afternoon’s Premier League match against Liverpool, scoring 69 goals along the way.
As things stand, Haaland’s contract at the Etihad Stadium isn’t set to expire until the summer of 2027.
Even though he still has just under four years left on his contract, reports have suggested that City are eager to get the centre-forward to sign a contract extension at the club.
Taking into account how successful the 23-year-old has been during his time at City in terms of the goals he’s scored and the trophies he’s won, it’s no surprise that they want to see him extend his contract.
However, with Real apparently organising their finances that could allow them to potentially sign the striker, this should put pressure on the Citizens to do all they can to keep hold of Haaland for as long as they can.
Especially since the Spanish club have shown over a long period of time that they are not shy when it comes to spending hefty amounts of money to sign the players they want.
