Today’s Latest Football Transfer News, Focus on Real Madrid Attention on Mbappe & Haaland.
Between These Two Stars (Mbappe & Haaland), Which One Will Sign For Real Madrid ? This is A Trending question among White Fans.
There are two weeks left until the end of the transfer window, and everyone knows that Real Madrid’s top target is Kylian Mbappe. But he’s not the only one, as the plan drawn up months ago by Florentino Perez is to unite Mbappe (22) and Erling Haaland(21), the two most promising forwards around, for the 2022/23 season in an attack that would dominate European football for the next decade. This is what Carlo Ancelotti meant when he said “we’re looking ahead” as he responded to the Cristiano Ronaldo rumours on Tuesday. [Via]
On April 1, Alf-Inge Haaland, the Norwegian player’s father, and agent Mino Raiola boarded a plane and attended two meetings. In the morning they met with Joan Laporta in Barcelonabut that turned out to be a sham, full of empty words. The meeting in the afternoon, however, with Jose Angel Sanchez and Juni Calafat in Valdebebas was a serious one. At both, the same thing was discussed: the financial conditions for signing Haaland. The difference is that Barcelona couldn’t afford it and Real Madrid could. While for Laporta it was a diversionary tactic to hide that his club was broke, Perez truly wanted to sign the player.
Real Madrid have 200 million euros available for signings. Their order of priority is to get Mbappe now, estimating that Paris Saint-Germain will sell for around 160m euros if they finally agree to negotiate, and to bring in Haaland next summer for 75m euros, a figure which could rise to 90m euros with performance-related add-ons, according to German TV channel Sport1.
However, that order could change at a moment’s notice and is intentionally flexible. If the Emir of Qatar doesn’t listen to the request Mbappe intends to officially hand to Nasser Al-Khelaifi in the coming days, after telling him he doesn’t plan on renewing, Haaland will immediately become Real Madrid’s top priority – and an urgent one at that. It would then be a race against time to get a deal done with Borussia Dortmund. The German club don’t want to sell right now, but they also know that, come summer 2022, they could lose him for between 75m and 90m euros. The reality is that Dortmund don’t have the backing of a state, meaning they cannot turn down 100m euros just like that.
