Real Madrid views their upcoming quarterfinal clash with Manchester City as the perfect opportunity to convince Erling Haaland to join their ranks, according to reports.
As per recent information from Fichajes, the Spanish giants are determined to lure the Norwegian sensation to the Spanish capital.
Despite Haaland’s success and satisfaction at Manchester City over the past 18 months, Real Madrid remains linked with a glamorous move for the 23-year-old striker.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid is keen to secure Haaland’s services well before his current contract expires in 2027, even though Manchester City is not currently in danger of losing him.
The Spanish side believes that a convincing victory over Manchester City in the Champions League quarterfinals would send a strong message to Haaland about the allure of joining their esteemed club.
In preparation for the quarterfinal clash, which kicks off on April 9 at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid is gearing up for an exciting showdown with Manchester City.
They view this match as an opportunity to showcase their ambition and potentially sway Haaland towards a move to Madrid.
To keep Haaland’s attention away from the allure of Real Madrid, Manchester City must perform at their best during the tie.
Real Madrid intends to captivate the Norwegian striker with an impressive display on the pitch.
Haaland, who boasts 29 international caps for Norway, made the switch to Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022.
In his 86 appearances across all competitions, he has amassed an impressive record of 81 goals and 15 assists, solidifying his status as one of Europe’s most prolific forwards.
