  1. false: Erling Haaland is arriving at Real Madrid for the new season for 300 million euros.
    Multiple reliable sources, including Britannica and various sports news outlets, confirm that Erling Haaland has not joined Real Madrid for the 2026 season. He signed a contract extension with Manchester City in January 2025, keeping him with the club until 2034. Speculation about a future move to Real Madrid exists, with some reports mentioning potential transfer fees in the range of €200-300 million or even €500 million, but these are not for the current season and are not confirmed transfers.
