It seems that Real Madrid is more determined than ever to win two deals from the “heavy caliber” stars known under the name “Galactices” at the same time, namely French Kylian Mbappe, 23, the Paris Saint-Germain striker, and the Norwegian “golden boy”. Erling Haaland, 21, is the top scorer of Borussia Dortmund.
Halland expressed his desire to play in the Spanish league “La Liga”, preferring it to the English “Premier League”, and recent rumors indicate that his next destination is Spain, although his father’s ambitions are heading towards the English Premier League.
This desire prompted Real Madrid and Barcelona to move, hoping to win this brilliant young Norwegian with Dortmund, and each of them had no choice but to start official negotiations with Halland’s agent, Mino Raiola.
All evidence indicates that the two great Spanish poles will inevitably face each other in their struggle to win this player, and try to contract him, although Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish League, believes that the competition between them will not be fair in the current circumstances of each of them, as Barcelona suffers more from the accumulated debts, as a result The high salary ceiling for his players, especially his former star Lionel Messi, who left for Paris Saint-Germain, while the Real enjoys a great financial “abundance”, due to his keenness to rationalize expenses during the last three years, and his contract with more than one deal for free.
Tebas said that “Merengi” is the most capable at the present time, to sign players together with Mbappe and Halland.
As for Joan Laporta, Barcelona president, he will do everything in his power to get Raiola to freeze the Haaland deal for the time being, and postpone it until another time when Barca is financially ready to compete with Real Madrid after a year or 18 months.
However, the very good relationship between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, may hasten the conclusion of the deal at an early date, especially since Joachim Watzke, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dortmund, is a personal friend of Florentino Perez, the president of the Royal Club, and he recently admitted Real Madrid’s interest in obtaining Haaland’s signature, and he considers that a choice. ideal.
Halland’s contract with Dortmund includes a clause that allows him to leave at the end of the current season, if the club that wants to obtain his services pays 75 million euros, in addition to Mino Raiola’s commission.
And the conflict between Real and Barca over Halland, does not exist for Kylian Mbappe, who announced from the beginning his desire to play for Real Madrid, in the event of his departure from Saint-Germain, and therefore there is no problem in this direction.
On the other hand, the Meringue administration announced that its expenses and expenses for the next season will focus on strengthening the offensive line, and Mbappe and Halland identified two first goals, the French through a free deal, and the Norwegian for a fee that the “royal” club can provide, allowing him to win both deals.
