Manchester City striker Erling Haaland could continue his career in Spain's La Liga, but any club interested in signing the Norwegian international would reportedly have to meet one crucial condition.
As reported by İdman.Biz, citing El Nacional, the 26-year-old forward has not ruled out a potential move to either Real Madrid or Barcelona. However, he would insist on including a fixed release clause in any future contract.
Haaland reportedly wants to retain control over his career decisions and ensure that he can change clubs without lengthy negotiations if the opportunity arises.
The release clause would need to strike a balance between protecting the interests of his future club and remaining financially realistic for potential buyers.
The player's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, reportedly supports this approach, believing that long-term contracts should not restrict her clients' freedom to make future career decisions.
Any potential negotiations could also address when the release clause would become active and which clubs would be eligible to trigger it.
Another factor that could influence Haaland's future is the possibility of sanctions against Manchester City in connection with the club's ongoing case concerning alleged breaches of financial regulations.
According to Transfermarkt, the Norwegian striker is currently valued at €220 million (approximately AZN 437 million), making him one of the most valuable footballers in the world.
