Real Madrid think that Manchester City are their main competitor in the race for Erling Haaland and are ‘80% sure’ the striker will join the Citizens, esRadio’s Sergio Valentin (4 stars) reports.
They also believe that, if Haaland ends up in Spain, Santiago Bernabeu is the only option — the Whites don’t see Barcelona as a serious rival.
ESPN’s reliable Mark Ogden (4 stars) also reports that Real Madrid and Man City will battle it out for Haaland. The 21-year-old reportedly prefers the La Liga side, but City are ‘a real threat’.
Erling is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund next summer. He will have a release clause of €75m, but there are also high commissions to be paid to his agent and father.
Meanwhile, Catalan sources report that the Norwegian is Joan Laporta’s big goal for the summer. The Barca president has a good relationship with Mino Raiola, Haaland’s agent, which could work in our favour.
