Real Madrid considers Erling Haaland if Manchester City faces sanctions

Real Madrid is positioned to pursue Manchester City striker Erling Haaland should the club face significant sporting penalties following an independent commission's findings. City was found guilty of 114 of 115 charges but is appealing the decision, with no punishment imposed yet. If sanctions occur, Madrid may prioritize signing Haaland, who is tied to City until 2034. However, the financial implications of such a transfer would be considerable, alongside strategic concerns regarding how he would fit into a squad that already includes Kylian Mbappe.
