the XXL plan to prevent Erling Haaland from going to Real Madrid

It is only when he is injured that we no longer see Erling Haaland score. Forfeited with Norway for this international break, the Manchester City striker had an exceptional month of March, scoring nine goals in a single week. Including a quintuple against RB Leipzig, in the Champions League, then a hat-trick against Burnley, in the Cup. What inevitably attract the interest of the big clubs, including Real Madrid, which would have made the Norwegian striker its top priority for the summer of 2024.

To keep it, Manchester City intends to do things big. While they enlisted him until 2027 last summer, with a very nice weekly salary of 375,000 euros – the highest in the Premier League, with Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) and David de Gea (Manchester United)- The Sun informs that the Skyblues already want to extend it. Indeed, Manchester City plans to extend his contract for an additional season, adding a nice financial compensation.

Erling Haaland, future best salary of PL?

Thus, the 22-year-old Norwegian would become the highest earner in the Premier League with 500,000 euros, per week. Enough to reward him for a sensational first year in England, with 42 goals scored in 37 matches in all competitions. For his part, Erling Haaland seems happy with the Cityzens and does not intend to leave, says the English tabloid. With this new contract, Manchester City will also be able to blow against the offensives of Real Madrid or another major European club.

But if the Skyblues are on track to secure the international with 23 caps (21 goals), Manchester City and Real Madrid have not finished clashing on the transfer market. Pep Guardiola’s team are also hoping an Erling Haaland extension will help convince his Borussia Dortmund friend Jude Bellingham to join him this summer. Another soap opera that should settle next summer, but the White House has clearly not said its last word.
