Real Madrid will reportedly not look to sign Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland until 2024 at the earliest, with Los Blancos aware that any attempt to land the striker next year will be shot down by the Premier League giants.

According to Marca, the reigning UEFA Champions League holders have acknowledged that Haaland won’t be signing for the club for quite some time, with 2024 being circled in Madrid’s calendar as the year when the La Liga champions will attempt to sign the City titan.

Haaland has been quite the phenom in England since signing for City in the summer, with the attacker already on 20 goals in all competitions with 15 of them coming in the Premier League, and as you can expect, rumours of a move to Madrid have already begun.

With a reported base wage of £375,000-a-week, Haaland is already one of the highest-paid players in Europe, and Madrid’s attempts to sign the striker in 2024 could depend on how much the Spanish giants can afford to spend on the payroll, especially if Kylian Mbappe is to sign next year.

Indeed, Madrid signing Haaland could become a real possibility in 2024 if the Norweigian striker has won everything there is to win with City by then, and for Pep Guardiola’s side, they can’t afford to lose their star attacker after just two full seasons with the club.

Whilst there’s still time before Madrid will look to move for Haaland, the script seems to write itself that the striker will eventually be playing for the Spanish side at some stage in his career, yet for City, they need to ensure the attacker remains at the Etihad for as long as possible.

Real Madrid signing Haaland feels like a guarantee

Any superstar player wants to eventually play for Madrid, and Haaland has the quality, off-the-field presence and superstar personality to fit the profile for Los Blancos, which is why the striker signing for the club feels like a guarantee in the future.

Haaland is shattering record after record at City, and given Madrid’s reputation as arguably the biggest club in all of sports, the 22-year-old one day playing for the famous whites of Real feels like an eventuality that will come to prosper in the coming years.
