Spanish publication Libertad Digital have reported that Real Madrid have already contacted super-agent Mino Raiola to discuss a move for the 21-year-old.
The club’s owners are confident that Haaland would only join the Galacticos if he was to make the move to LaLiga.
There are concerns however about Manchester City, with people of ‘high responsibility’ at Madrid claiming that the reigning Premier League champions have an ‘80% chance of signing him’.

Manchester City are also in contention to sign Haaland in the summer transfer window
Pep Guardiola’s side are in need of a striker while Haaland’s father, Alf-Inge, played for Manchester City during his career.
It’s said that City would be able to put in a bigger offer for Haaland and would also be able to pay him more in terms of wages than the LaLiga giants.
A move to the Santiago Bernabeu though would likely lead to a dream forward line consisting of Haaland and Mbappe.
Both players are at the top of the list expected to take away the mantlepiece from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best player in world football.
Other clubs could also attempt to make a move for Haaland who has a £68m release clause which kicks in during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Kylian Mbappe is expected to join Real Madrid as a free agent at the end of the season
The 21-year-old has had a meteoric rise in football and has scored a stunning 80 goals in 79 appearances for Borussia Dortmund.
Mbappe has reportedly already agreed to join Real Madrid as a free agent when his contact in Paris expires in June.
PSG turned down two bids, the second at £154million, from Madrid for Mbappe last summer in the hope of convincing their star man to stay but the French club have failed to make a compelling argument to the player.
