According to a report from AS, Erling Haaland, the superstar of Manchester City, has reportedly chosen Real Madrid as his next destination and views the upcoming Champions League quarter-final tie as an opportunity to showcase his talents to the Spanish club.
The striker sees Manchester City as a stepping stone to Real Madrid, as stated in the report. Despite having a contract with Manchester City until 2027, the club is not eager to part ways with the 23-year-old, who has been highly successful in Manchester. Haaland has amassed an impressive record of 81 goals and 15 assists in 87 appearances for City.
Widely regarded as one of the best strikers globally, Haaland is believed to be on Real Madrid’s radar. However, any potential move for Haaland this summer seems unlikely, as he is contracted with Manchester City.
The notion that Haaland views the upcoming Champions League clash against Real Madrid as an opportunity to prove a point seems unfounded, especially considering that he already faced them in the competition last season.
Additionally, referring to Manchester City as a “stepping stone” appears unjust given their recent success, including winning trebles and being considered one of the top teams globally.
