Real Madrid wanted to sign the new Haaland, but Manchester United stole him

Carlo Ancelotti was very clear from the moment Karim Benzema decided to transfer his goals to Saudi Arabia. The Italian technical director asked the leaders of Real Madrid to hire a 9th rank and there was always a wish on the part of the Italian coach that it will not be possible.

Danish striker Rasmus Winter Hojlund closed a very good season with Atalanta in Italy and Carlo Ancelotti put him as one of his transfer market priorities. However, Manchester United went ahead and ended up buying for 75 million euros who everyone calls the new Erling Haaland.

The question now is to see what Real Madrid's attack will be like without the hierarchy of Karim Benzema and with the arrival of Joselu. The striker continues to be looked at out of the corner of his eye because of his trajectory beyond the great goal from the Chilean kick that he scored during the preseason. For Carlo Ancelotti, a front-line attacking center is still missing.

A doubtful debut

Real Madrid points to what will be its debut in La Liga next Saturday August 12 as a visitor to Athletic Bilbao. These days ahead of the premiere will serve to finish outlining if the team continues with the same system and Carlo Ancelotti will have to decide to bury his 4-3-3 fetish.
