It’s a small line on the contract that might change a lot of things. According to information from Brand, the contract signed by Erling Haaland at Manchester City this summer provided for a clause estimated at 200 million euros from 2024 then 175 million the following year. Finally, a condition would be added to the contract, it is revealed The Athletic explaining that the clause might only concern non-Premier League clubs.
What does this condition actually change? That English clubs, some of which are real financial machines, will not compete with clubs that would like to buy the Norwegian “machine”. If the sum of 200 million euros seems high, it remains within reach of big European clubs like Real Madrid, which has already expressed its interest in Haaland and which was ready to put such a sum to pay for Mbappé last summer. . And in view of the performance of the Mancunian, 200 million which would force City to accept the offer, even seems to be very interesting for potential suppliers.
