Transfer News : New Clause Real Madrid/Haaland, Vinicius Unwilling to Make Way for Mbappé
Erling Haaland, Vinicius, and Kylian Mbappé: That’s the latest in the transfer market on April 8.
What if Erling Haaland joined Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid? It’s possible, according to AS. Under contract until June 2027, Erling Haaland, the 23-year-old striker from Manchester City, is reportedly still in Real Madrid’s plans.
According to the AS newspaper, the Norwegian international is considering signing with Madrid in the summer of 2025 via a release clause set at 250 million euros. However, Kylian Mbappé’s arrival in June could jeopardize this plan.
Meanwhile, Manchester City aims to extend Haaland’s contract and could take advantage of this situation to make a renewed attempt. But Haaland reportedly still wants to sign with Real Madrid as soon as possible.
Rafaela Pimenta is expected to insist on maintaining a release clause, likely at a higher amount, in Haaland’s new contract to preserve the possibility of a future transfer to Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappé is set to join Real Madrid next summer. He will have to compete with Vinicius.
Despite PSG’s interest and Premier League suitors, Vinicius has no intention of leaving Real Madrid. Despite the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior has clarified his future.
According to Marca, the Brazilian forward will not leave Real Madrid, and the club’s leaders also have no plans to part ways with the 23-year-old winger.
Acquired in the summer of 2018 for 45 million euros, Vinicius is under contract until June 2028. With 18 goals in 28 matches in all competitions this season, Vinicius has accumulated a total of 77 goals and 72 assists in 253 appearances for Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappé signed with PSG in 2017. However, with Neymar’s departure, FC Barcelona made an attempt.
In 2017, there was a tug-of-war between Real Madrid and PSG to sign Kylian Mbappé. FC Barcelona was also in the mix. In an interview on the El Chiringuito show, Javier Bordas, former executive of the Spanish club, confirms.
Neymar left FC Barcelona in the middle of the summer of 2017, and the Spanish club quickly sought a replacement for him. Javier Bordas confirms having discussions with Wilfried Mbappé, Kylian’s father. And Kylian was close to signing because he even came to Barcelona.
However, the option did not gain unanimous support internally, and the sports management ultimately opted for Ousmane Dembélé.
