Reports: Manchester united takes final decision on Erling Haaland transfer, gives reasons why.

Erling haaland is one of the most prolific strikers in Europe after scoring 76 goals in 74 games for his current team.

A huge number of clubs have been linked with Haaland in recent months, including Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

However, according to the Daily Star, the red devils are not considering making an approach for the highly-rated youngster.

It’s believed Haaland has “set his heart” on a move to Real and the Red Devils have reluctantly accepted his decision.

The 21-year-old former Red Bull Salzburg striker has a €75million release clause in his contract, around £62.7m.

His desire to move to the Spain is also a blow for City manager Pep Guardiola, who had identified Haaland as a long-term successor to Sergio Aguero following his inability to sign harry Kane last summer.

Guardiola has been without a prolific centre-forward since Aguero, who recently retired from football due to a heart problem, was released at the end of last season.

It’s thought Real have been working on a deal to sign Haaland for the last six months and plan on pairing him with Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.

The Frenchman, 22, is out of contract at the end of the season and is expected to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has previously said the signings of Haaland and Mbappe would be impossible without the European Super League.

“When money does not flow from the rich clubs to the poor clubs, everyone suffers,” said Perez shortly after the collapse.

“It’s impossible to make signings like Mbappe and Haaland, in general, not just for Real Madrid, without the Super League.
