Real Madrid sees their upcoming Champions League quarterfinal against Manchester City as a prime opportunity to convince Erling Haaland to join their ranks, according to recent reports from Fichajes.
The Spanish giants are eager to lure the Norwegian talent to the Santiago Bernabeu, despite his success and satisfaction at Manchester City over the past 18 months.
Although Haaland, 23, has flourished at the Etihad, with numerous trophies to his name, speculation persists regarding a potential move to Real Madrid.
Despite the unlikely prospect of Manchester City parting with the promising forward, whose contract extends until 2027, there are rumors that Real Madrid hopes to secure his services sooner rather than later.
As Real Madrid prepares for their highly anticipated Champions League clash on April 9, where they will face Manchester City in the first leg at home, they view a convincing victory as a message that Haaland cannot ignore.
The club aims to showcase their ambition and allure to the talented striker during this pivotal match.
With Real Madrid poised to impress Haaland with a stellar performance, Manchester City must deliver their best if they wish to divert their star player’s attention from the allure of European football’s biggest stage.
Since joining Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, Haaland has amassed an impressive record of 81 goals and 15 assists in 86 appearances across all competitions, further enhancing his desirability to top clubs like Real Madrid.
