Erling Haaland scored a brace as Manchester City defeated Copenhagen 5-0 last week. Following the victory, City Manager Pep Guardiola discussed a rumor linking Haaland to Real Madrid.
Erling Haaland reportedly has a clause in his contract that allows him to switch from Manchester City to Real Madrid after just two seasons in the Premier League.
However, Pep Guardiola reaffirmed that Erling Haaland’s contract does not contain anything similar. Erling Haaland is content at the Etihad Stadium, according to the Spanish national, and has no reason to desire to leave, he claimed.

Erling Haaland has a release clause that would allow him to leave Manchester City in 2024, according to a story earlier this week published by Athletic UK, although there was no mention of where he may go.
Erling Haaland may leave Manchester City in 2024 for any team outside the English Premier League, but the club that wants to sign him would have to spend €200 million, according to the reports.
Erling Haaland rejected Real Madrid’s offer to sign him last summer and instead signed with Manchester City. Given that the Spanish Club would soon be looking for a replacement for Karim Benzema, Real Madrid would have an opportunity to sign Erling Haaland in 2024 if he became available.
If Kylian Mbappe had chosen Real Madrid over PSG in the previous summer, they might not have felt as much pressure to sign Erling Haaland, but the Los Blancos lost both Mbappe and Haaland.
Erling Haaland’s outstanding performance in the Premier League will elevate his status in Real Madrid’s eyes as they want to replace Karim Benzema with a merciless goalscorer.
