Since making his debut for Manchester City, Erling Haaland has scored a staggering 69 goals in 71 appearances for them. It is not surprising that Real Madrid is showing interest in the prolific striker, as he promises a good amount of goals for his team. Though Haaland is loyal to Manchester City currently, the prospect of becoming a part of Galacticos could tempt him in the future.

Real Madrid’s plan for Haaland

Real Madrid’s pursuit of Erling Haaland is more of a strategy contingency plan. Madrid’s primary target remains Kylian Mbappe, who is embroiled in a complex contractual bond with PSG, making his acquisition a challenge for them. With the possibility of Mbappe becoming a free agent next summer, Los Blancos sees Erling Haaland as a viable alternative. It’ll be a backup plan, should the pursuit of the French star falter.
