Erling Haaland is open to signing a new contract with Manchester City, but the key for the deal to go through is the inclusion of an appropriate release clause, amidst Real Madrid's interest. Despite having a contract until 2027, the Norwegian striker seeks to secure an exit route in case he decides to change clubs in the future. According to reports from Football Insider, negotiations between City and Haaland have stalled due to this particular point.
Meanwhile, Manchester City is eager to retain Haaland long-term and reward him for his impressive performances since his arrival in 2022. Haaland has been a crucial piece in the team's success, including his contribution to the historic Champions League title. With over 90 goals in just over 100 matches for the club, the City's board is looking to ensure his stay, although talks have not progressed due to the player's demands.
Haaland wants to have a release clause
At 24 years old, Haaland already has experience negotiating contracts with release clauses, as was the case during his time at Borussia Dortmund. It was precisely that clause that allowed Manchester City to sign him for £51 million, a relatively low figure for a player of his caliber. Now, the Norwegian and his team aim to replicate the formula, which could ease his departure if he decides to join another European giant like Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's interest in Haaland is not new, and their insistence on including a release clause in his next contract could be an indication that in the future, he seeks the freedom to choose his next destination. However, for now, it all depends on whether Manchester City agrees to his terms.
