Manchester City may need to put a release clause in new contract for Erling Haaland which could trigger offers from Real Madrid and Barcelona

Manchester City's Erling Haaland is said to be in negotiations for a new contract, but a release clause might "pique the interest of both Real Madrid and Barcelona." According to the Express, Haaland will try to copy a clause he had at Borussia Dortmund. "After a successful start to the Premier League season, Manchester City's Erling Haaland is reportedly in negotiations for a new contract.
