The news linking Erling Haaland to Real Madrid is surfacing these days once again. But this isn't pointing the near future of course. It points to 2024 year in which Haaland's currently invisible release clause is going to be activated in his contract. I don't even know if this information is true though. Because Guardiola once said that it is just about a rumour and Haaland doesn't have such release clause in the contract. But the statements from Haaland's father's side are telling the opposite.
I mean it looks like Haaland is planning a 2 or 3-year journey at Manchester City for now. He can be open to play for different teams later on and Real Madrid might go for him if they don't sign Mbappe until then.
I wouldn't completely throw out the idea of Haaland moving to Real Madrid in the future but I don’t think it will be happening just yet because Real Madrid are still very interested in signing Kylian Mbappe and if they get their main target which is Mbappe their is every tendency that Erling Haaland will not also be purchased because you can't have both stars on the same team or you risk having issues of who to start and who to keep on the bench.
The Real Madrid executives have already said they want to sign Haaland, regardless of whether Mbappe transfers or not. In addition, everyone already understands that Real has "cooled down" to Mbappe, it is obvious and they themselves said it. But to see the tandem of Mbappe and Haaland I honestly did not want to see, once again we will see a manifestation of hypocrisy from the Frenchman, as often happens
The current conditions will obviously be very exciting with the breakthrough that will be made by Madrid, which is certain if this happens it will obviously be big news.
Currently Haaland's monitoring is still quite intense, but on the other hand they also want to do the same with Mbappe even though Haaland is indeed the priority. It will be very interesting when Mbappe is combined with Haaland although actually I still hope they become rivals for the future with different teams.
What I think can happen the most is that Haaland can accept, the porbblilad is much greater than Mbappé's than Real Madrid's, for this reason we could think that they don't want Mbappé for saying no to Madrid in the first instance At the time, at that time Mbappé chose to stay at PSG and as I have said before, saying no to Real Madrid brings great consequences, when the player regrets it and wants to join that club, it will be difficult for him to do anything to go back So it's all a matter of what Madrid wants again.
The speculations of Messi's return to Barcelona are now hitting up and it seems likely that a move can happen in the summer as Barcelona President has mentioned that the club is talking to Messi's camp and discussions taking place already. I think Barcelona is also putting in place measures to satisfy every financial fair play rules if Messi is to join eventually.
I'm getting bored with this because every player transfer update is sure to include him in the news which is always busy. But actually the conditions remain the same as before, with Barcelona still having difficulties in balancing their cash book conditions and with those who are still having financial difficulties, it is certain that Messi will not be there.
I hope it's not like that, because here Barcelona treated Messi very badly when he left, and I'm sure they'll give him the same treatment when they see that Messi can't give the same performance, and it wouldn't be good to see Messi cry for leaving a team where he gave so much and was not highly valued, what will Barcelona think when they see Messi win the World Cup in Qatar? They left Messi Thinking that he was already burnt out, that he had nothing to give, now that he is in a great moment and Barcelona is not so good, so now is it? I don't think so, I hope Messi doesn't accept.
