El Real Madrid is measured at Manchester City Tuesday in the Etihad Stadium, in the first match of the semifinal in which both fight for a place in the decisive match of the Championsscheduled for May 28 at the Parisian stadium of St Denis. The match between madridistas and ‘citizens’ has many edges, and in the background of it also appears the future of one of the most valued footballers in Europe: Erling Braut Haaland.
The Norwegian striker Borussia Dortmund It is one of the great jewels of the market, once it seems clear that it will not continue for a long time in the German team. In the race to get their services, Madrid and City have been left alone after a screen from which almost all the big clubs in Europe have fallen.
In this context, it is advisable not to underestimate the weight of the outcome of the cross between City and Madrid in Haaland’s final decision, although many other factors weigh in it, from the influence of the player’s agent, Mino Raiolaand his father, Alf-Inge, even the economic power of the English club, superior for obvious reasons to that of Real Madrid. On the other hand, we must take into account the excellent relations between Madrid and Dortmund, the club that owns the player’s rights, embodied in numerous operations (Achraf, Reinier…) in recent years.

While several English media give City as a favorite to finally take over the services of the Nordic striker, in Madrid he remains calm and discretiona position similar to the one that the white club maintains in relation to the future of Kylian Mbapp, another of the great white objectives. Although bringing together the French and the Norwegian in the same squad presents many complications, ranging from the economic to the strictly sporting, Madrid remains on the lookout, without being influenced by the rumors about Haaland that come from England and those from France and the environment of PSG about Mbapp.
As MARCA has been reporting, the main factor when it comes to tipping the balance in Haaland’s future is the sports projectAt this point, it seems clear that the footballer’s economic aspirations will be amply covered both in the case of Madrid and City. For this reason, the outcome of the crossing between Spanish and English may have a decisive influence in the Norwegian’s choice. Madrid plays its tricks discreetly, which may include a season with two important titles (Liga already on track three games of a new Champions), without forgetting the plus offered by the presence of Mbapp in the white club from July 1.
