Given that Kylian Mbappe is expected to go to Real Madrid in the near future, this means that Erling Haaland will not be able to play for the team for the foreseeable future.
Julien Laurens has stated that Manchester City, a Premier League club, are highly glad that Los Blancos would not go for their star forward this summer. This is a further development in the case. Given the course of events, Manchester City is tremendously relief.
“At City, they are relieved that Kylian Mbappe is going to Real Madrid, and that closes the door for the moment to Haaland leaving this summer,” Laurens said in AfterRMC. “Haaland’s departure this summer is no longer plausible.”
Mbappe’s transfer is finalized, but Haaland is a potential future addition.
It is important to remember that the only thing that is now waiting in the transfer of Mbappe to Real Madrid is an official statement. Despite this being the case, Paris Saint-Germain are not completely given up on the player.
This is due to the fact that they are looking to return at least a portion of the 180 million Euros that they offered Monaco in exchange for Mbappe. This indicates that the squad from the French capital is demanding that the young striker pay a portion of the signing-on money that he would earn from Real Madrid.

As a result, they anticipate paying a sum that falls somewhere between one hundred and one hundred and fifty million euros for Mbappe’s departure.
When it comes to Haaland, on the other hand, a great deal of speculation has been made about his future, particularly in light of the fact that Real Madrid would have a reasonably simple time signing him in the year 2025.
In spite of the fact that City is currently working on securing a long-term contract for him, there has been no written proposal made at this time.
Nevertheless, in the middle of all of this, the star striker recently said at a press conference that he does not rule out a transfer in the future, despite the fact that he is content with his current position at Manchester City.
“I’m really happy, especially with the people I’m surrounded by,” the forward stated. “However, tomorrow you never know what the future brings,” he said.
As of right now, it is not anticipated that Real Madrid would spend a significant amount of money on Haaland during the summer transfer window since they believe that Alphonso Davies and a center back are their primary priorities.
