Erling Haaland: the unexpected club with which Real Madrid Will battle for his transfer
The Norwegian striker could have little time left in Borussia Dortmund, set to a possible transfer to Real Madrid… or a surprise.
Real Madrid has always been looking for expensive players in the market, and the next name could be already packing up to move to Spain. It’s not a surprise to find out the club is interested in Borussia Dortmund’s striker Erling Braut Haaland. The Norwegian is having a superb level in the Bundesliga but could jump to La Liga in any moment.
Haaland has reached the impressive figure of a 1.1 goal per game average, after having scored 21 goals in 19 matches so far in 2020-21 season. His amazing scoring skills, sense of positioning and lethal finishing are earning him lots of credit. Apart from that, he’s netted six goals in seven played games for his national team.
But Real Madrid, as we could expect, is not alone on the run to Borussia Dortmund’s number 9. It was recently reported Chelsea, who are set to get rid of 2018 World Cup winner Olivier Giroud, would also be looking for Haaland. As per Transfermarkt, his current market value climbs up to €100 million ($121 million). Surprisingly, his contract has no release clause.
In the last hours, 20-year-old Haaland has backed his friend and national team partner Martin Odegaard, who after not being considered in Real Madrid, moved on loan to English Premier League’s Arsenal FC. His words, suggesting London side’s coach Mikel Arteta to give him more play time, could be taken as some distancing from Spanish giants.
