Putting an offer of 30 million euros per year on hold and turning a deaf ear to the suggestion of the president of your country. Everything, for Real Madrid. It’s what they’re doing Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappéwhat they are experiencing an April full of pressure from Manchester Citythe norwegian, and from the loftiest spheres of France, to the PSG striker, so that they abort their intention to sign for the Madrid entity. For now, unsuccessfully.
The most recent to see how they squeeze him to make a firm decision as soon as possible is Haaland. The Daily Mail published on Monday night advances in the operation of City by the Nordic giant extended the next day by The Athletic. Information that even indicates a specific date, next week, as the moment in which the signing for the citizens. A winger flatly denied and with a wink towards Madrid fans (he wrote it in Spanish) by Jan Aage Fjortoft, a former Norwegian soccer player and very close to the Haaland family and who has recently been acting as a kind of unofficial spokesman for the footballer environment. “As I have reported for months, Erling Haaland could end up at Manchester City or Real Madrid. The two favourites. But there is no agreement so far.”he tweeted.
Haaland currently has the favorable opinion to accept the English club’s offer both from his agent, Mino Raiola, and from his father and adviser, Alfie Haaland, with whom City has agreed on the figures of the very high commissions that they are going to receive. Madrid has not received relevant news about a significant change in Haaland’s situation and from different sectors even is interpreted as a possible ultimatum move to Haaland. A deadline between now and next week for the striker to be the one to say ‘yes’ to the mega-offer on the table.

Mbappé is the other ace that Madrid intends for its deck and although that management is much more specific, with numbers and conditions of the pre-contract agreed, in France different methods of pressure continue to be applied with the PSG striker so that he backs down. Emmanuel Macron, President of the Republic, zoomed in again last week according to different French media. Although Macron has been immersed in an arduous electoral process, maintains a long-term strategy for Mbappé to be one of the main visible heads of French sport at the 2024 Paris Olympics and to participate in them representing PSG.
Madrid remains optimistic because the ball is in the court of both stars, who are looking at Chamartín.
A situation that does not bother Madrid, which is very aware of the different movements around the footballer, his mother and agent and the striker’s father, his hard core. Mbappé’s will is key and nothing has changed there. The white club is confident that if it has resisted PSG’s thousand and one attempts so far, it is that there is no turning back. Haaland’s situation is different. As reported by this newspaper, Madrid is in the bid but will not commit anything crazy and will never reach the salary and commission figures that Cuty is willing to reach. Despite the information from England, based largely on the optimism of the English club, the ball is still on Haaland’s court.
