In addition to Kylian Mbappé, the Norwegian forward is another target of Real Madrid for the 2024 transfer market, and Manchester City is already taking measures.
Manchester City working to keep
Erling Haaland at Etihad Stadium and prevent the Norwegian forward from joining
Real Madrid next season. According to the Spanish portal
Fichajes.net, the English club is pressuring for meetings to be held in the coming months with the aim of extending the Nordic attacker's contract by one more year than what he currently has (2027). The reigning
Champions League champions have two main reasons to seek this early renewal.
Firstly, they want to keep Haaland away from Real Madrid at least for the next season. There is concern at City that Kylian Mbappé's signing for the Spanish team may not materialize and that they may show renewed interest in the Norwegian forward for the 2024/2025 season. Therefore, they are determined to ensure his stay at Etihad.
