Erling Haaland’s father confirms Son can move to real Madrid ( VIDEO)
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland’s father confirmed to El Chiringuito that his son could one day move to Real Madrid.
The former City and Leeds United player made his comments from FIFA’S The Best ceremony, where Erling finished runner-up to Lionel Messi for the Men’s Player 2023 award.
Winning the treble with City last season, Haaland finished level with Messi on 48 points. Yet it was the amount of captains that voted for the Argentine, 13, that meant he prevented Haaland from winning the award as only 11 skippers thought he was the best male player on the planet.
Alfe-Inge Haaland was hounded by El Chiringuito’s Marcos Bento at the award ceremony in London on Monday evening.
He was asked what he thought of Messi beating his son though they had the same points, answering: “Congratulations to Messi”.
Haaland senior then said it was “very good” the two players had tied, but “no problem” that Messi had come on top on what has been deemed by many to be controversial criteria across social media.
El Chiringuito then put it to Alfe-Inge if his son could play for Real Madrid in the future.
“Of course, there’s also a possibility that he could play for everyone,” the Norwegian responded with a laugh.
When asked to confirm if he “wants that his son wants” to sign for Los Blancos, Haaland senior said: “He’s very happy at City at the moment, so I think we concentrate about that.”
Alfe-Inge similarly refused to confirm if there is a release clause in his contract which according to AS allows Madrid or another Spanish giant such as FC Barcelona to sign him for €100 million and not the previously reported €200 million.
“I don’t think we should talk about a contract now” Alfe-Inge said with a smile, trying to walk off and then doing so with a laugh when then probed on the true price of the 23-year-old.
These comments might not please City fans, but also at the same time give hope to supporters of the two behemoths in El Clasico that Haaland plying his trade in La Liga could become a reality in the coming seasons.
