Last year, Real Madrid were also considering signing him, but Manchester City beat them to it. However, Los Blancos have not moved their eyes away from Haaland and have already started work on trying to get him in the future.
And according to Spanish sports daily AS, work is under way behind the scenes at the Bernabeu to try and snare Haaland away from Manchester City in the summer of 2024.
While Manchester City have denied it, a release clause is likely to come into effect in Haaland’s contract at the end of next season.
The figure is believed to be in the region of €220m to €240m and the number will come down over the length of his contract.
