The forthcoming summer transfer season for Real Madrid is already beginning to take form, despite the fact that there are still close to four months left before it officially begins.
At this time, it is common knowledge that players like as Kylian Mbappe are almost certain to be wearing the white shirt for the next season. By doing so, they will considerably enhance Carlo Ancelotti’s arsenal, and the possibility of Alphonso Davies joining the team is also being considered.
Erling Haaland, who plays for Manchester City, is the third candidate who is being considered. An proposal that may seem to be unfeasible is to sign both Mbappe and the Norwegian superstar within the same transfer window. However, insiders have indicated that this is a possibility.
The predicament of Haaland
The worth of Haaland has unquestionably increased ever since he made the transition to the Premier League in 2022. It should come as no surprise that Real Madrid continues to be associated with the striker despite the fact that they were unsuccessful in their attempt to acquire him two years ago. The striker is one of the most dangerous powers in the final third of football throughout the globe.
In a private conversation, the Norwegian superstar’s close entourage reportedly laughed at the prospect of Haaland signing with Real Madrid, as reported by The Athletic. They consider it to be quite unlikely, particularly in light of the fact that Mbappe has just joined the club.
On the other hand, the player has long been interested in the possibility of playing for the legendary Spanish giants.
Even in the event that a transfer does not take place this summer, it is not impossible to imagine that a transfer will take place in 2025. However, there is also a compelling argument for the young player to sign a contract extension with Pep Guardiola’s team in the meanwhile.
The economic aspect of the situation
It is possible for Real Madrid to sign the two most prominent names in football within the same summer transfer window, despite the fact that this may seem to be an absurd proposition on paper. Two key components are responsible for determining the likelihood that was discussed before.
To begin, the transfer of Mbappe to Madrid is considered a free transfer in principle. This, in turn, reduces a significant portion of the financial muscle that Los Blancos would have to exert in the face of a different circumstance.
In comparison to the amount that Paris Saint-Germain requested for the player during the summer of 2017, even the signing-on bonus that they are offering to the Frenchman is paltry.
Regarding the issue with Haaland, the striker’s contract with Manchester City has a particular release provision that allows him to leave the club for teams located outside of England. Taking into consideration that the aforementioned sum is less than €150 million, Real Madrid is well within their means to acquire the service of the promising young player.
