Even though there are still over four months until the formal start of the summer transfer window for Real Madrid, it is already beginning to take shape.
It is currently no secret that players like Kylian Mbappe are almost certain to wear the white shirt for Carlo Ancelotti’s team the next season, greatly enhancing his arsenal. Alphonso Davies’ signing is also being considered.
Erling Haaland of Manchester City is the third candidate under consideration. It may seem unfeasible to sign Mbappe and the superstar from Norway during the same transfer window, but sources have assured us that it is feasible.
The state of Haaland
Haaland’s worth has only increased since his 2022 transfer to the Premier League. It is hardly shocking that Real Madrid is still connected to the striker even after the player was turned down for the position two years ago, since he is one of the most dangerous players in the world of football in the closing third.
The close circle surrounding the Norwegian superstar reportedly laughs behind closed doors at the prospect of Haaland joining Real Madrid, according to sources from The Athletic. They believe it to be nearly impossible, particularly in light of Mbappe’s recent arrival at the team.
Still, the player has always found it appealing to play for the legendary Spanish giants.
There is a compelling argument for the young player to sign an extension with Pep Guardiola’s team in the interim, but even if a deal isn’t made this summer, one in 2025 cannot be ruled out.
The financial component
Even though it seems absurd on paper, Real Madrid is able to sign the two biggest players in football within the same summer transfer window. The likelihood indicated above is determined by two main elements.
First off, Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid is theoretically free, which reduces the amount of financial leverage Los Blancos would normally need to exert.
Comparing their offer to the Frenchman’s summer transfer fee that PSG demanded, even the signing-on incentive is small.
Regarding Haaland, there is a particular release clause in his Manchester City contract for teams outside of England. Given that the aforementioned sum is less than €150 million, Real Madrid has ample opportunity to sign the protégé.
