Is Haaland Getting Transferred

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Norwegian sensation, Haaland, played a pivotal role in Manchester City’s Treble-winning season last year, scoring 52 goals. Currently, he is firmly committed to the reigning Premier League champions, holding a contract at the Etihad Stadium that extends until 2027.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

However, there are assertions that a release clause exists in the agreement, which teams from outside England could activate in the summer of 2024. According to reports, a substantial transfer fee ranging between €180 million (£157m/$193m) and €200 million (£174m/$214m) would be necessary to facilitate a high-value transfer.

WHAT WAS SAID

While there has been ongoing speculation linking Haaland to Real Madrid, known for their pursuit of ‘Galacticos,’ Rafael Pimenta refutes any suggestion that she is laying the groundwork for an immediate move to Spain. Clarifying her position during a visit to the Santiago Bernabeu for the Blancos’ Champions League match against Braga, she told El Chiringuito, “I’ve been here more times. Talk about Haaland with Florentino  [Perez]? No, no, no, no.”
