Real Madrid chiefs are convinced signing Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
Haaland 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.
AS says, 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.
