Zinedine Zidane has decided: he will give Borussia Dortmund this player to bring Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland is, alongside Kylian Mbappé, the most desired soccer player in the world. The 20-year-old from Norway has amazed the whole planet with his prolific goal average for dozens of games. His powerful shooting, his ability to break defender’s marking and his large body are just too attractive. And Zinedine Zidane knows that.

The French coach is looking for new options in many spots of the field for Real Madrid. But especially, the center forward place is a sensitive one. Karim Benzema is turning 34 years old and he does not have too much left to give in La Liga. Therefore, Zidane will investigate the possibility of buying Haaland with Florentino Pérez.

But yes, there is a big problem. Haaland is not cheap. His agent Mino Raiola had arranged a release clause that could just become active in 2022. Meanwhile, his reported price, according to Transfermarkt, is €110 million. Or better said, $133 million. Now yes, that is a whole lot of money to invest. Even if your name is Real Madrid.

Now, Zidane has always been an extremely smart playmaker. So he is now as a coach. And he has thought about the idea of including another player in the deal. He has appointed more than a name to reduce Haaland’s transfer price to about $45 million. Who are they? Mariano Díaz, who has little action in the team, or the Eintracht Frankfurt-loaned Luka Jovic.
