Haaland No, However, Madrid Does Have Another City Star Player in its Sights

Real Madrid was closely following Haaland in case there was a chance to transfer him this summer. Especially if Manchester City was sanctioned for Financial Fair Play violations. However, the Norwegian ended up renewing his contract with the English for many years.

That closes the doors of Bernabéu for now, although Real Madrid still wants to fish at the Etihad. They might not be able to sign Haaland, but they don't rule out another star. They're considering making a move for another Manchester City player.

Journalist André Hernan has revealed the option Real Madrid is considering. It would be Savinho, who performed at a high level last season at Girona. He's not first team player at City, and they might have a chance to convince him to transfer.

Additionally, the Brazilian's agents will be in Europe next week, so they can test the waters. Anyway, it's an option still being studied and not considered certain. They prefer to wait and see what happens with other players.

Real Madrid's option to go for Savinho in 2026 depends on several players from the current team

Real Madrid is not currently looking for reinforcements for the forward line unless there's a big surprise. The arrival of Endrick and Mbappé last summer completed their attacking front. However, several situations could bring Savinho closer to Santiago Bernabéu.

The first is Vinícius's situation, who still hasn't renewed his contract, and his future is uncertain. Saudi Arabia continues to insist on going for his transfer next summer. They're willing to put a lot of money on the table to convince him.

The other option is Rodrygo's departure, which was strongly rumored months ago but now seems more complicated. These are the only two options; if either of these exits happens, they would indeed sign a forward. In that case, Savinho's name would have gained traction with the management.
