Three leading European clubs are reportedly in a fierce competition to sign Erling Haaland, who seems poised to leave Manchester City.
Man City acquired Haaland from Borussia Dortmund for around £51 million ahead of the 2022–23 season, overcoming interest from several other clubs.
The 24-year-old striker has become a key player at Etihad, delivering outstanding performances. This season, he has scored nine goals in five matches across all competitions, bringing his tally to 99 goals in 103 games for Manchester City.
Recent reports indicate that Manchester City is keen to extend Haaland’s contract until 2027.
However, a Spanish article suggests that Haaland has expressed a desire to seek new challenges, hinting that his career might lead him to a different country and a major club.
Barcelona is reportedly leading the chase for Haaland, with Real Madrid and PSG also showing interest.
According to one report, Haaland’s asking price is expected to be around 120 million euros, a figure that the interested clubs seem willing to meet.
FC Barcelona, with Deco and Joan Laporta at the helm, is negotiating a potential transfer to Camp Nou. The club is in need of a top-class striker to reinvigorate their European ambitions, and Haaland is their prime target.
Real Madrid is also closely involved, viewing Haaland as the perfect fit for their attacking lineup.
Florentino Pérez and the board are eager to add a world-class striker to their squad, and Haaland fits that profile.
Finally, PSG is preparing a substantial offer for Haaland, as they are known for leading high-profile transfer pursuits.
