Haaland to Real Madrid? That Move May Be Off the Table

Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker and Manchester City football star, is reportedly unlikely to join Real Madrid despite the club’s long-standing interest. Spanish outlet Sport reports Madrid have no plans to pursue the 26-year-old, even if City face sanctions after being found guilty of Premier League financial-rule breaches. Haaland’s long-term contract and Madrid’s attacking options are also said to make a move difficult.
