Goodbye Manchester City, Haaland's decision after Benzema's departure from Madrid

Real Madrid suffered the heavy blow of the departure of Karim Benzema from the club, the forward accepted the offer of 400 million euros from Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia. The Frenchman was the player with the most championships won in the club's history and is the second all-time scorer for the White House.

Erling Haaland is one of Real Madrid's great targets, the club has been interested in hiring him for several years, a year ago the striker was close to reaching the White House but this signing was not made due to the high level of Karim Benzema.

Haaland preferred to sign with Manchester City because at this club he would have more opportunities to play. In his first season with the Citizens he has scored more than 50 goals, he is a Premier League champion, they just won the FA Cup and are now preparing to defeat Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

The Central Defense site reported that Erling Haaland told his closest friends that a year ago he did not decide to play for Real Madrid because of the presence of Karim Benzema, the striker did not want to compete with the Frenchman at the club and that is why he took the decision to sign with Manchester City.

Haaland's reaction with Benzema

Erling Haaland already knows the news of the possible departure of Benzema from Real Madrid. "If this had been a year ago, my decision would have been more equal and I would not have been so clear about going to Manchester City", this was published by Central Defense. Now the White House will seek to hire the Manchester City player in 2024.
