Just joined Man City at the beginning of the season, but striker Erling Haaland is facing a future turn when he is interested in recruiting the greatest club in the world.
Joining Man City in the summer of 2022, Erling Haaland immediately proved himself to be a blockbuster contract ‘expensive’. After 25 matches played in the English Premier League, the Norwegian striker had 27 goals, almost firmly holding the title of top scorer at the end of the season when leaving behind Harry Kane by 9 goals.
This machine-like performance makes many European giants unable to stand by and even want to bring Haaland out of Etihad this summer. And one of them actually took action to push the deal.
According to The Independent, Real Madrid is looking to recruit a top-class striker to be a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema. And that person was identified as Erling Haaland.
Los Blancos also have specific plans to entice the 22-year-old striker to leave Man City at the end of the season. Accordingly, they will recruit Haaland’s former teammate at Dortmund, Jude Bellingham first. The English midfielder is said to have a close relationship with Man City’s No. 9 and will have a significant impact on the success or failure of the deal to bring Haaland to the Bernabeu.
Also according to The Independent, Los Blancos feel confident about winning Bellingham’s signature after several meetings with the player’s agent. Just closing the recruitment of the British player, the domino chain will fall and it will be a double blockbuster deal for Real Madrid.
Recently, Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta revealed that the 22-year-old striker has no intention of staying too long with a certain team. At the same time, she said, there were 4 clubs contacted to monitor Haaland’s situation.
With his talent, Erling Haaland will definitely come to the most powerful clubs in the world if he leaves Man City. And when the greatest club of the 20th century (FIFA recognized) – Real Madrid knocked on the door, the Norwegian striker was also hard to refuse.
Los Blancos is also one of the few clubs with a good financial background, able to activate Haaland’s 200 million euro release clause. It can be said that the club that has won the Champions League 14 times will be the most suitable destination for this striker if he decides to leave Man City.
