Erling Haaland

PSG, replacement for Mbappe

PSG then

Was looking forward to seeing him in the derby today, but out of nowhere he is out of the squad because of injury. Disappointing.

Watzke going out of his way to claim RM is tempting Haaland when asked whether they're going to have to sell in the coming summer

 

[mc_lovin]

Real certainly looks best positioned to get him. I still root for City though, would make our lives easier.

But quite frankly I don't care too much. My heart is not in it even if we had the money for him.

CR7 impact.

Both Mbappe and Haaland idolise him and want to follow in footsteps.

Not much can do.

 

[fergus90]

I've always assumed it would boil down to Real or Man City.

 

[soul24rage]

Feel like City are the favorites to get him next summer

 

[FC B]

Rumours continue to claim his choice is Madrid, just like Mbappe.

 

[Andresito]

Doubt even he knows where he wants to play in 10 months, let alone media.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Doubt even he knows where he wants to play in 10 months, let alone media.

True. He is dancing with a lot of teams.

Insane if Real signs both.

Stunning

Indeed.

But Watzke didn't have to highlight RM, or more so, namedrop only RM rather than a mixture of a few who are interested.
It might not say anything about Haaland intentions and we're still unclear how he feels playing with Mbappe rather than having a chance to go up against him. But it does show RM have been active in pursuing him.

Which is entirely against the narrative that Mbappe would is coming to have free reign as a sole star. RM won't give him that status if they can help it. And historically they've always been about having multiple stars to maximise marketability.

It'll be interesting how the saga plays out, but this will not be nearly as easy to marry everything up as it seems.

If they actually get both of them...

Yeah. Both are the fast physical types who see Ronaldo's dedication and professionalism as the model to follow. They match very well with Madrid. But imo, if they want to be the best player in the world, no1 in a team... not sure how that works if they play together. Ronaldo was no1, didn't share the limelight with anyone at the same degree. Messi as well.
