Erling Haaland

Recent reports from late 2025 mention a €250 million release clause, which Real Madrid reportedly deemed excessive. Other reports from the same period suggested a world-record fee of around €250 million would be necessary for a transfer, with one source speculating a total package could reach €300-€350 million including bonuses. Throughout 2025, various figures were linked to a potential Barcelona move, ranging from a low of €100-€120 million to a more substantial €150-€180 million. A Transfermarkt valuation of €200 million was cited in April 2025. Reports from late 2024, during contract negotiations, mentioned several release clause figures, including €175 million, £150 million (approx. €180 million), and potential new clauses up to €240 million. His completed transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City in July 2022 was for a reported €60 million.

Our valuation is driven by the numerous reports of high-value release clauses in Erling Haaland's contract, with figures consistently cited between €180 million and a potential €250 million. While Real Madrid reportedly finds the upper end excessive, his recent long-term contract extension until 2034 and his prolific goalscoring record for Manchester City solidify a world-record asking price, representing a massive increase from his €60 million transfer in 2022.
