Manchester City have been handed a huge boost in their chase of Erling Haaland, with reports in Spain suggesting the striker isn’t a priority for Real Madrid.
Haaland is, of course, set to be one of the biggest plotlines of the summer transfer window, with Europe’s top clubs vying for his signature as his released clause comes into effect at Borussia Dortmund.
Madrid are seen as the favourites to land the Norwegian, while City, Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are among the other clubs linked with a move.
Recent reports seem to have swung the pendulum further in Madrid’s favour, although it has now been suggested the Spanish giants could be looking elsewhere.

Radio host Josep Pedrerol, who is reportedly close to Real president Florentino Perez, has suggested the club are instead focusing their efforts on Kylian Mbappe, and may not have the funds to sign Haaland as well.
“It could change,” Pedrerol said on his El Chiringuito show (via Teamtalk ).
“But the objective is Kylian Mbappe, not trying to get both of them in May. He isn’t a priority for Real Madrid. It’s Mbappe, Mbappe, Mbappe.”
The claim would provide a major boost to City, who are seen by many as the favourites should Haaland choose to move to the Premier League.
