Erling Haaland, striker for Manchester City, may continue his career in the Spanish La Liga. However, clubs wishing to transfer the Norwegian footballer will have to accept one of his main conditions.
İdman.Biz, citing El Nacional, reports that the 26-year-old forward does not rule out the possibility of a transfer to either “Real Madrid” or “Barcelona.” Nevertheless, a key condition for any potential transfer will be the inclusion of a fixed-value release clause in his contract.
Haaland wants to personally influence decisions regarding his future career and retain the option to change clubs without the need for prolonged negotiations if the need arises. The amount stipulated in the contract must be high enough to protect the club's interests on one hand, and realistic for potential buyers on the other.
The footballer's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, also supports this approach. She believes that long-term contracts should not limit the freedom of future choices for her clients.
During potential negotiations, the specific start date for the release clause and exactly which clubs would be able to exercise this right could also be discussed.
Another factor that could influence Haaland's future is the possible sanctions related to Manchester City's ongoing case regarding potential Financial Fair Violations.
It is worth noting that the Transfermarkt portal values the market worth of the Norwegian striker at 220 million euros (approximately 437 million manat).
