9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

[Belgian Flash]

How can you suggest a player who has scored 1 goal in 33 games is worth 70 million, yet the current best no.9 on the planet is worth less than PSG paid for Mbappe nearly a decade ago? Dream on you deluded freak

Because context exists, such as when a player is a proven champion and someone who in the right circumstances could produce consistently performances like last night in the case of Rodrygo, or a player expressing a desire to leave pretty much always resulting with massive discount like in the case of Haaland.

I find it funny how the responses here are "take your hands off our Haaland you dirty basterd" when I stated a dozen times I don't want him at Madrid personally. Tribalism at its best lol. Guys I am not Real Madrid, I am not Florentino, Im just a football consumer lol.

Im just saying that when a player is that big, he has a lot more power, so the length of the contract doesn't have the same weight as it would with other players.

Also, as I said, things have changed now at Madrid with Vinicius who was seen as untouchable and the second biggest star losing his shine and very likely not extending. I can easily see the Haaland camp taking note and factoring this in their career planning just like Mbappe was doing before. Of course he is not going to say explicitly he wants to play for Madrid in the middle of December. But these hints are not accidental imo.

Personally I would love it if Florentino resigns over the entire Xabi vs players fiasco and there is a clearout where we actually do some proper squad building based on the coach's vision instead of collecting random superstars. Which obviously means no thanks to Haaland. Him and Mbappe upfront seems nice on paper but I don't think it will work, Mbappe is just a very selfish player and Haaland needs someone with the mentality of being dedicated to setting him up, like Doku or Cherki.

Haaland wouldn’t suit that RM team I saw last night, he hasn’t got a nasty streak in him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a RM side so dirty and over the years I remember some great sides. It’s a pity they turn to that type of play.

Yeah I dont think Haaland plans his career over whether other club's fans perceive as dirty. And this Madrid team is a bunch of kids compared to the times when we had Ramos, Pepe, Arbeloa etc. Asencio is a bit of a c*nt and Rudiger is a hothead but other than that everybody else are if anything too soft which is why were losing.

But back on topic, why would Haaland say these things then?

Going from 250 to 150 million is a massive discount. Its possible that you are right though, nowadays clubs hold out for their price like we have seen with Kane or Isak. It depends on the situation. I could see City allowing that discount because of his service to the club and excellent behaviour. But I still think Haaland has more power than you think despite the long contract.

What things, I didn’t know he said anything.

One day you guys will sign Aguero, David Silva, KdB as well….

The discount is the 250 :-)

lol I should have known that people here will get riled up at any hint of such an event.

I honestly don't want Haaland in Madrid, so theres no reason to attack me, Im just a messenger. I agree with the poster who said that Mbappe would not take it well. But I know how Florentino operates. He doesnt care about that. And for him if one major star leaves, he will want an even bigger one as a replacement. I'd prefer a harder working striker who is great at heading, presses a lot to cover for Mbappe's poor work rate and doesn't have the same stature so there is clear hierarchy.

Again, don't kill the messenger, but I don't think the ten year contract means a lot if Haaland decides he wants something else in his career. Make no mistake, he has a lot of power. It would take a lot of money, but if he pushes for an exit, I don't think it will be 250 million pounds, it will probably be somewhere around the 150 million mark. And if we sell Vinicius to PSG or the Saudis for any sum around 100, and Rodrygo for 50-70 as is probably his value, we could probably go up to 200 for Haaland, especially if he communicates to City that he wants to leave.

But these are signals imo. Its just how the whole game works. You dont say stuff like this randomly in this position.

Why did he sign a ten year contract if he wants to leave.
Madrid would have to swap the whole squad they have now

And then add 200million.
Madrid are fuck all now.shit

Like Barcelona.
Has beens.
La liga is shit.
Haaland is a blue

As big as real Madrid are made out to be.
They have never in there history had a player as big as haaland play for them.
The only time a team has ever signed a player as big.
As famous as haaland is now.
Is when maradona went to Napoli.
That was unreal .
Haaland is the biggest player and best player since maradona.
Unless the mafia are going to front the money like they did to get maradona to Napoli we can rest easy for the next 10 yers

What in the love of fuck is a 'football consumer'???

That's why we're getting opposition fans in home ends.

 

[eastmanc]

I think there is a genuine possibility that Madrid tries to swap Vinicius with Haaland next summer, now that it has become pretty evident that the Mbappe-Vini experiment is a wash. Not direct trade ofc and obviously we would need to dig deep in our pockets to compensate for the difference in value, but I think the Haaland camp is sending signals.

There is no chance.

Madrid fans taking defeat gracefully again.
You lot have to be the biggest soft arsed fans ever, though I think the utd fans are probably level pegging with you.

Of course he's going to say the bernabau is a fantastic stadium, it is.
Any footballer in his right mind would say that but I like how you've edited his comments to look like Erling has said he misses Bellingham and wants to play for Madrid.

You have to be a journalist to come out with the tripe you posted.

And just to add i wouldn't that little mardarse Vinicious anywhere near us.

Edit.

And i bet you aren't even a Madrid fan, you're one of these red mardarses pretending.
As if a Real Madrid fan would bother posting on a city forum.

Yeah ok.

Eats balls?

[Dax777]

You can have him in eight years on a free when his contract expires you set of cheapskate fuckers, and as for that disrespectful little **** Vinicius do you really seriously we would be interested in signing him?

You’ve obviously not taken the defeat very well.

Is BF is a Madrid fan? Tot He follows Belgian around. Not sure Madrid has many of those.

I think Mbappe is as big as Haaland if not bigger. So were both Ronaldos. Phenomeno and Ragiano .

Its neither here nor there. The truth is if Haaland wants to play for Madrid, it will happen. This is the power of footballers. It will be costly but a 10 year contract wont stop it.

That said, 1) Haaland is enjoying things here so far. So no worries for now 2) Madrid already has a striker just as big in Mbappe. 3) Madrid currently has many more important issues than adding an unnecessary and unneeded position.

So there really isn't anything to worry about over Haaland going anywhere. And its fools gold to worry about a far distant future like that's unknown.


Like Pep says, Today he is a City player under contract. :)
