The worst news for Manchester City, Haaland's first step to sign for Real Madrid

Real Madrid arrives with their heads up to face Manchester City tomorrow after being champion of the Copa del Rey this weekend against Osasuna 2-1 with both goals from Rodrygo Goes, without having an impressive collective game but showing that they have something different for the defining matches, making it clear that they will not give up easily at the Santiago Bernabéu against the cast of Pep Guardiola.

And the truth is that in this sense, much is being said about the signings of Real Madrid for next season, taking into account that it has old players like Toni Kroos at 33, Karim Benzema at 35 and Luka Modric at 35 years, where apparently everyone has agreed to renew for one more season but there should already be young people in the squad to replace them for the future.

That is why there is so much talk that Real Madrid would have closed Jude Bellingham as one of the reinforcements for next season, where according to La SER, the White House is willing to offer him the second best paid salary in the merengue team, behind Eden Hazard, who in an unusual way is the one who charges the most. But the truth is that while there is much talk about signings and in the preview of Real Madrid vs. Manchester City, Erling Haaland sent a clear nod to the White House so that they sign him for next season.

Erling Haaland rejected the contract renewal with Manchester City for 40 million euros per season and in this way Real Madrid can sign him in July 2024 while maintaining the 200 million euro clause. If he signed the renewal, the clause was exterminated.
