Erling Haaland is apparently in discussions for a fresh deal with Manchester City following a superb beginning to the Premier League campaign.
Nevertheless, a distinct request during these negotiations could capture the interest of both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The Spanish titans have continuously shown desire in acquiring the Norwegian forward for La Liga, having previously chased after him during his time with Borussia Dortmund, prior to Manchester City sealing the deal.
The city should be wise to refrain from including any termination clause that could undermine their position if Real Madrid or Barcelona express interest.
However, as reported by Marca, Haaland wants to include a release clause in his upcoming contract, as stated in the headline: “Renewal and a release clause,” with a photo of Haaland featured in the newspaper.
Haaland’s representative, Pimenta, declared that Haaland is “in control of his own fate.”
Despite Real Madrid now having Kylian Mbappe on their team, they currently do not have any immediate intentions of signing the 24-year-old. However, they are not expected to completely ignore the opportunity to chase him in upcoming times.
This situation may possibly place Barcelona in a advantageous position to take action in 2025.
