Erling Haaland renewed with Manchester City a few weeks ago until 2034. An agreement that made headlines worldwide due to the length of the contract. However, there are several clubs that are still keeping an eye on the Norwegian center-forward's situation, including Real Madrid.

From Fichajes.net they report that the Madrid club, along with Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, would be interested in the forward's services. For now, Haaland will remain tied to Manchester City. But these three clubs always appear in the betting odds in case the Norwegian decides to leave.

An important renewal for Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland's renewal for nine more years confirms that Manchester City's project, despite possible sanctions, is moving forward. The Norwegian receives a significant financial improvement, as he will earn about 40 million euros net per year. This way, he will be the highest-paid player on the entire team by a considerable margin.

In addition to the financial adjustment, Haaland will have all the rights to his image, something few can boast of. This factor implies additional benefits for the forward, who also earns other income from advertising campaigns and other collaborations outside of soccer.

The clause that changes everything

However, the famous clause in Erling Haaland's contract that allows the Norwegian to leave Manchester City whenever he deems fit is still present. This way, the striker will be able to freely choose the club to join.

Although it is not known for certain how his transfer would be, it is known that Haaland has the power to manage his future freely. Real Madrid will be very alert in the upcoming markets to the behaviors and decisions of the Norwegian footballer. If the Norwegian decides to leave, Florentino Pérez will move to try to make his transfer happen.

For now, Erling Haaland will remain linked to Manchester City for the coming months. He will not leave Etihad Stadium next summer, but in 2026 certain changes may appear. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will closely monitor one of the most lethal strikers of today.
