      The star striker joined the reigning Prem champions last summer following a £51million deal with Borussia Dortmund, despite interest from some of Europe’s biggest hitters like Real.
      According to AS, however, Los Blancos are planning to reignite their bid for the Norway international and are confident they will have their man by next year.
      In fact, the Madrid giants are planning a world record offer in the range of £200m, which will eclipse Neymar’s £198m move to Paris Saint-Germain back in 2017.
      The reigning European champions are confident the 22-year-old has a release clause, which activates every year from 2024 until his contract ends in 2027 despite City denying it.

      Carlo Ancelotti’s side plans to stay in touch with the Norwegian’s camp until next year in order to be in pole position when the time comes to swoop in.
      Real also believe Haaland can still leave the Etihad even if manager Pep Guardiola, who played an integral part in his signing, stays in Manchester.
      The Spanish champions have major plans for the coming years as they will move for the ex-Red Bull Salzburg star even if they get PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe.
      Real are planning to form a Galacticos-type trio to spearhead their attack consisted of Haaland, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

      By the time they move for the two star strikers it is highly likely top earners like Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Eden Hazard will be gone.
      That means they will free up at least €50m (£44m) per year in wages and will be able to meet Haaland and Mbappe’s financial demands.
      The two centre-forwards are seen as leaders that will take Real to the new era. More

      Ex-Real Madrid star Isco unemployed and training at home after snubbing multiple transfer offers

      by

      EX-REAL MADRID star Isco has found himself unemployed and training on his own AT HOME.According to The Athletic, the attacking midfielder became a free agent in January after falling out with Sevilla’s director of football Monchi.

      The former Spain international came close to a move to Union Berlin and flew to Germany where he passed his medical but circumstances changed at the eleventh hour.
      Isco initially wanted to join the MLS but any interested club would have had to make him a designated player in order to pay him something close to what he earned in Europe.
      Now he is without a club and training at home with the help of a personal trainer at the age of 30.
      It is quite a fall from grace for the ex-Malaga protege, who joined Real in 2013 as Carlo Ancelotti’s first signing.

      The playmaker hit the ground running and went on to win four Champions League titles, while his performances earned interest from Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City and even Barcelona.
      That led to a new deal in 2017, which included a release clause worth a whopping €700million (£619m).
      However, Isco quickly fell out of favour as Real stopped using attacking midfielders.
      It all started when Santiago Solari took over from Julen Lopetegui in 2018.
      Most read in Football
      Solari preferred to use young players like Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde instead of stars with big contracts, such as Isco.
      The Spaniard had a public fallout with Solari, who then excluded him from his plans.
      Things didn’t improve upon Zinedine Zidane’s return and the situation remained the same when Ancelotti came back.
      Real tried to get his high salary off the payroll with a move to AC Milan in 2021 but the player wasn’t happy with the wage cut.

      That led him last year to Sevilla under Lopetegui, who urged the club to sign him despite transfer guru Monchi’s disapproval.
      However, the Spanish tactician was sacked and joined Wolves, while his successor Jorge Sampaoli quickly realised Isco doesn’t fit the team and would be preferable to get his lucrative wages off the books.
      And upon his departure from Sevilla, Monchi stated publicly it had been “a mistake” to sign him and “it would have been a further mistake to continue with the error” by not ending their relationship in January.
      Isco has received offer from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, while it seems like there is also interest from LaLiga. More

      He left Real Madrid in 2013 after a largely successful but controversial reign at the helm of one of Spain’s biggest clubs.
      And 10 years on he is being tipped as a potential option to take over at the Bernabeu.
      Ancelotti’s future is uncertain with the Italian manager repeatedly linked with the Brazil international job.
      And Mundo Deportivo report that Madrid club president Florentino Perez is already drawing up options in case they need a replacement.

      Along with Mourinho, the likes of former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino are believed to be in contention.
      Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso and highly-rated Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner are also reportedly among the names being considered, as well as another potential returnee in Zinedine Zidane.

      The Champions League would elude him during his three years at Madrid and the club have gone on to win Europe’s grandest competition a staggering five times since his departure.
      Ancelotti, the mastermind of the most recent Champions League victory, appears increasingly likely to leave the club at the end of the season.
      Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson even spoke confidently about the Italian taking over his country of Brazil in recent days.
      After reporting for international duty, the 29-year-old said: “I spoke to Casemiro, Vinicius and Militao… there’s a big possibility that Carlo Ancelotti is gonna become the new coach of Brazil.” More

      As a result, Carlo Ancelotti’s men are looking for someone to lead the line in the meantime.

      Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, 23, who has scored 20 goals in 49 games for the Italian giants, is the other man being considered by Los Blancos.

      But Kane, who is Tottenham’s all-time top scorer with 271 goals 425 games, would provide Real Madrid with a proven threat in front of goal.

      And he could be available at the end of the season as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his Spurs deal.
      However, any move for Kane – who is also attracting interest from Manchester United – would reportedly have to coincide with Real refusing to extend Benzema’s deal.
