There has been a lot of talk in recent years about the possible arrival of Erling Haaland at Real Madrid. After going scoreless at Santiago Bernabéu and being eliminated from the Champions League, Edu Aguirre considered it the perfect time to ask the question. Leaving the mixed zone, the Norwegian didn't expect it and was clearly questioned: "Is your future here?".
Haaland's reaction, who didn't even flinch and completely ignored him, went viral. The Norwegian recently renewed his contract with Manchester City until 2034, although it includes some release clauses. These, however, can't be applied in the short term, making it difficult to imagine a real departure of the forward heading to Real Madrid.
Haaland has never denied that his dream is to wear the Real Madrid jersey. In fact, at times he has been very close, but right now is not the time. After being eliminated at Bernabéu, he wasn't pleased that Edu Aguirre asked him about it. Hence his reaction of completely ignoring him and looking displeased...
"Haaland to Madrid? It's Going to Happen"
Before the match, Predrag Mijatovic, a legend of Real Madrid, surprised with his statements about Erling Haaland. In a recent interview, Mijatovic stated: "I think Haaland can play at Real Madrid, it's going to happen, he would love it". These words caused a great stir in the soccer environment.
Mijatovic also hinted that Haaland is interested in wearing the white jersey. Although he hasn't publicly expressed it, Mijatovic claimed to have reliable information on the matter. These statements fuel the rumors about a possible future for Erling Haaland at Santiago Bernabéu.
The possible incorporation of Haaland to Real Madrid would be a strategic move to further strengthen the forward line. His youth and talent could fit into Madrid's sports project if certain changes are made. However, any negotiation would involve significant economic and contractual challenges.
At the moment, it seems highly unlikely that Haaland could end up wearing the Real Madrid jersey. Despite the rumors, the forward line is more than complete, and it also doesn't seem that a transfer agreement with City could be reached. That's why, despite Edu Aguirre's question, all parties assume that this, in the short term, is not going to happen, nor is there any intention of it.
