<p>However, despite Haaland's contract running until 2034, his future at City may not be as secure as it seems. Keith Wyness, former sporting director of Aston Villa, suggested that a departure by the end of the season could be possible, according to <em><a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/premier-league/haaland-irse-final-temporada-123183159">Sport</a></em>: <em>“I think Erling Haaland could leave at the end of this season. There’s a lot of talk about Vinicius Junior potentially moving from Real Madrid to Saudi Arabia. The rumored €200 million transfer fee for the Brazilian could prompt the Spanish club to make an offer for Haaland.”</em> This situation could lead Real Madrid to strongly pursue Haaland, although persuading Manchester City and handling the striker's substantial salary would be a significant challenge.</p>
