La Liga chief shares transfer update about Man City star Erling Haaland amid Real Madrid links

La Liga president Javier Tebas says a Real Madrid approach for Erling Haaland this summer would be ‘complicated’ given his status at Manchester City.

The league chief claims a deal for Kylian Mbappe is essentially done with the Frenchman widely tipped to soon join Los Blancos with his contract expiring this summer, despite the player remaining ambiguous about his future. Haaland has had links with Real swirling around him since the day he joined Man City.

Any approach from the Spanish giants this summer seems unlikely given the expected arrival of Mbappe, who is set to command astronomical wages - so much so that some current players may need to be offloaded to cater for his demands.

Meanwhile, Tebas believes that Haaland’s arrival at the Etihad Stadium less than two years ago is a major stumbling block for Real. Speaking recently at the International Sport Convention, he said: "I would like to see the best in our competitions.

"I give Mbappe a 99.99% chance that he will play next season for Real Madrid. Haaland is more complicated. He has been at City for a short time to consider leaving."

Haaland’s agent Rafael Pimenta has never ruled out a future move for her client but has been adamant that no such discussions are to take place without the full intention of the player himself. The Norwegian has insisted he is 'really happy' at City, however, despite speculation surrounding his future.

"I'm 23 and I won everything and I got a taste of it how it is to win and how I work is that when I feel this I want to win
