Real Madrid Transfers: Here is when Erling Haaland is expected to make his decision

Real Madrid will be going after Erling Haaland in the 2022 summer transfer window when his release clause will be available. They will have to compete with Premier League clubs, PSG, and maybe even Barcelona and Bayern Munich. But Los Blancos are among the favorites to land the Borussia Dortmund striker.

There has been a lot of talk regarding where Haaland is leaning, including some rumblings that the player is going to rule out Madrid.

At this point, Madridistas can take those rumors with a pinch of salt, because the reality is that there is a long road ahead before Haaland even contemplates his future.

Fabrizio Romano recently reported on his YouTube channel, via Bernabeu Digital’s Alejandro Alonso, that Erling Haaland won’t make a decision on his future until the spring. Romano stated that Haaland will decide in March, April, or May, and he emphasized that money will not be the only factor in his decision.

Erling Haaland should take his time before deciding

This is an important report to keep in mind as we head into the winter months, where rumors tend to start ramping up.

There are a lot of people who will try to tell you that Real Madrid are not involved, that Haaland is guaranteed to go to the Premier League, or that Mino Raiola will only move his client to the highest bidder (which would presumably be PSG or Manchester City).

Nothing indicates Haaland is even close to making a decision. Los Blancos are very much in the picture and have plenty of advantages they can offer to the 21-year-old Bundesliga superstar.

The spring will be a long wait for Madridistas, who are eager to see if Florentino Perez can pull the ultimate galactic double-swoop of Kylian Mbappe (for free, no less) and Haaland (at a steep discount in transfer fee, too) next summer. It is ambitious, no doubt, but Perez is the master at fulfilling ambitious goals. We all remember how he became president in the first place, with the Luis Figo signing.

Madridistas may have to wait closer to May than March to get an answer from Haaland. He should take his time making such a decision, and his entourage knows how much things can change in football. The best sporting project and the club he can trust will be just as important as the money to a player keen on etching his name amongst the greats by winning countless trophies over the next decade.
