Erling Haaland is Real Madrid’s first choice as a replacement for Karim Benzema, as reported by Sky Sport in Germany.
The Manchester City striker has a release clause that will be valid until 2024.
It is expected that Karim Benzema will extend his contract at Real Madrid until 2024, while the club that won the last Champions League is considering bringing in Haaland as his replacement.
Haaland joined Manchester City in the summer for a reported €60 million from Borussia Dortmund, but it is believed he could leave within the next two years.
After Real Madrid failed to sign Kylian Mbappe to extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, they are considering buying a striker especially since Benzema will be getting old.
Erling Haaland has established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe since his arrival at Manchester City, scoring 20 goals in 12 games in all competitions.
Manchester City will do everything they can to keep Erling Haaland, who has a good relationship with Pep Guardiola and is happy to be at the Etihad Stadium.
