Haaland's Father Drops Hint Over Real Madrid Switch

Alf-Inge Haaland has fueled speculation about his son Erling’s future at Manchester City by refusing to shut the door on a move to Real Madrid. In an interview with DAZN, the former Norway international admitted the Spanish giants hold a special attraction for any player. “I don’t want to say too much about other clubs. Erling is happy at City, he has a long contract… But every footballer wants to play for Real Madrid,” Alf-Inge said. When pressed on whether a transfer could happen, he replied: “Maybe, maybe… In football there are always opportunities.” The comments came just before Norway faced Brazil in a World Cup 2026 knockout clash. Haaland Jr. delivered a stunning brace, securing a 2-1 win that sent his country into the quarterfinals for the first time in decades.
