Real Madrid make new Erling Haaland transfer decision

Real Madrid are extremely unlikely to pursue a permanent transfer for Manchester City forward Erling Haaland next year, according to a report from Spanish outlet SPORT. Despite persistent rumors and potential Manchester City financial breach penalties, Los Blancos reportedly have no realistic plans to sign the Norway striker due to an already stacked attacking roster.

Haaland has eight years remaining on his contract after signing an extension in 2025. With Real Madrid stepping back, Barcelona could become the frontrunners under Hansi Flick to sign Haaland if he seeks a departure from Manchester City.
