Erling Haaland: A Route Pour Le Real Madrid?
Although Haaland is the most precious player in the world, with an estimated transfer value (ETV) at 184 million euros, Real Madrid estimates that the financing of such a spectacular transfer would be any problem.
The Saudi Pro League is ready to break its piggy bank to sign Vini Jr, with a transfer which could reach 300 million euros according to certain rumors. This would allow Merengues to reinvest this money in the 25 -year -old City AS.
Although the Pep Guardiola team is opposed to the sale of Haaland, which signed a nine -year contract with the club last season, it seems that it has a release clause of 200 million euros applicable to clubs outside the Premier League. This could be decisive for the final transfer of the striker to Real Madrid.
