FOOTBALL: There is a transfer clause to Real Madrid in Erling Haaland’s contract but Man City are already in talks to renegotiate it

Erling Haa­land’s con­tract has a clause that allows him to move from Man­ches­ter City to Real Madrid in 2024.

The 22-year-old strik­er picked up his third straight hat-trick on Sun­day as they defeat­ed local rivals Unit­ed 6–3.

The goal brings him to 17 goals in 10 appear­ances since join­ing from Borus­sia Dort­mund this summer.

He arrived in Japan in June for €58 mil­lion and signed a five-year deal until 2027.

Despite heavy com­pe­ti­tion from clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the prospect of work­ing for Pep Guardi­o­la in the Pre­mier­ship was irre­sistibly attrac­tive to Harland.

How­ev­er, accord­ing to Sun­sports, a week after sign­ing the deal, City were look­ing for stronger negotiations.

Pre­vi­ous reports had sug­gest­ed that Man­ches­ter City hoped to move to Spain in the future.

And for­mer Real Madrid play­er and for­mer Mála­ga pres­i­dent Fer­nan­do Sanz argues that in 2024, the Whites will have the upper hand.

He told his Mundo­De­porti­vo: “The infor­ma­tion I have is the exit clause of Haa­land, in his sec­ond year, of curios­i­ty. Very prof­itable con­di­tions and his one club remain­ing, Com­pared to Real Madrid”.

“Haa­land has a clause that allows him to leave after two years, but he prefers Real Madrid.

“Madrid will pro­vide the nec­es­sary funds and acquire Haa­land with­out con­sult­ing City.

Sanz insists the Bern­abéu side would have pri­or­i­ty to sign Haa­land because of the exit clause.

And Alfie Haa­land, who also start­ed at City, sug­gest­ed his son may be too ear­ly for a long stay in England.

Alfie said, “He (Erling) can go to Ger­many for two and a half years, Eng­land for two and a half years, then Spain, Italy and France?”

“I don’t know if it will hap­pen, but I think he wants to try his hand at the big leagues.”
