According to media reports, although Manchester City's performance at the beginning of this season was somewhat ups and downs, Norwegian forward Haaland is in extremely hot form and is almost unbeatable.

So far, the 25-year-old "killer" has scored 15 goals for Manchester City in 12 games. If you include his games with the Norwegian national team, this number reaches an astonishing 24 goals in 15 games. It is worth mentioning that in the Champions League, he became the tenth top scorer in history with 53 goals, and it only took him 51 games.

Although he failed to score in the most recent game against Aston Villa and missed the League Cup match with Swansea due to injury, this does not affect Haaland's status as one of the most lethal strikers in today's football. Manchester City is well aware of the importance of Haaland and regards him as a pillar player of the club now and even in the future.

However, there are signs that Haaland may not intend to stay in England long-term. Former Aston Villa executive director Keith Winnis pointed out: "I think Haaland may leave after the end of this season."

He also specifically mentioned Real Madrid as Haaland's next stop: "There is a lot of news about Vinicius' move to Saudi Arabia. The rumored transfer fee of 200 million euros may give the Spanish giants a chance to sign Haaland."

However, completing such a transfer is by no means easy. Considering that Haaland's contract with Manchester City does not expire until 2034, any team that wants to take him away will not only have to face the problem of huge transfer fees, but also need to bear the annual salary burden of up to 25 million pounds.
