Erling Haaland

[El Gato]

Pretty much confirms my point in our last RM discussion with Wolfe and Morten, that RM can't afford both or at least can't afford 'easily' both.

Ruhr Nachrichten also reports Haaland wants RM

You really should read the original news before making comments.
The news makes numerous contradicting claims - for one says he actually prefers Barcelona and would compliment a Messi return campaign in 2023
In one breath speculates about RM not being able to afford Haaland because of sign-on fees for Mbappe, while paragraph later goes ahead and speculates we may instead buy Lewandowski whose transfer was long on cards and contract runs out same year as Benz
The news also says the most obvious obstacle is Benzema contract as club doesnt want to force him out

That he would prefer us has been hinted at for years, wouldnt be news
Confirms nothing, Gari linked a translation and not even a full one. Plus can see he's passed on a negatively framed news just by the last sentence lmao
Doesn't do anything for your point as you never claimed we'd not be able to sign him, you claimed we wouldn't be able to sustain further transfers after him
Not to mention you go to make your financial argument when RM was all but ready to spend 220M on Mbappe and has 230M worth of profits from last 3 years budgets stored unspent in coffers

I think we'll be just fine and him waiting a year makes sense with what's come directly out of his camp and not through rumor mill - undecided as doesn't have clear favourites, rather obvious he's not that keen on City, sees Barcelona are in the shitter and barely any other takers out there while striker position blocked at RM long as Benzema is under contract and won't want to move to play with France NT compatriot ahead of Qatar WC

Will be Real, Barca or Bayern if they approach him with a better offer later on

He should just fuck off if he stays in Dortmund one more year. Clown ass player and agent.

Ferran Torres is better

Don't speak German
General tone of the news is hint enough this is likely more of an opinion piece telling you what you already know to be likely while peppering in further speculation
Real finances not even central to what they're saying

What does the future hold?
BVB striker Erling Haaland sits between the chairs

Erling Haaland is extremely popular.
Real Madrid reportedly want to sign him but have another superstar in their sights. Now there could be a solution that also benefits BVB.
by Dirk Krampe

17 degrees and sunshine gave spring fever in Madrid on Thursday. There is only one topic of conversation in the city these days - but that has nothing to do with the weather and also - surprisingly - nothing to do with Erling Haaland. On Tuesday, Real Madrid will play their round of 16 first leg in the Champions League at Paris St. Germain, which is what the discussions in the street caf?s are all about. Because it will be the meeting with Kylian Mbapp?, whose contract with Paris expires at the end of the season and who has been identified as the real king transfer of the coming summer.

BVB striker Haaland no longer on the wish list at Real?

It hasn't been officially announced yet, but Madrid-based reporters on Real have made a rare unanimous decision: The Frenchman's move could be announced after the second leg in the Spanish capital in three weeks' time. Then there would also be time for the question that arises: What does this personnel mean for Real's interest in Erling Haaland?

Haaland's father Alf-Inge and advisor Mino Raiola undertook a publicly displayed advertising tour in Spain's large metropolises Madrid and Barcelona last year. One could smile about the fact that a photographer from a local sports newspaper happened to have his camera ready to shoot at the airport when the private plane with Raiola and father Haaland on board landed first in Barcelona and hours later in Madrid.

Possible Mbapp? move to Real puts Haaland in a dilemma

Real is considered to be the 21-year-old's favorite next stop in his already impressive career. In the complex network of speculation about the future of several top strikers in Europe, Borussia Dortmund's Norwegian striker could now have gotten caught. Because Mbapp?'s likely move to Real Madrid plunges the club and Erling Haaland personally into a dilemma. According to information from Ruhr Nachrichten, Real's almighty President Florentino Perez - a billionaire businessman and friend of BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke - has already let it be known on the Haaland side that they are not planning to use the Dortmund striker this summer.

In addition to the enormous volume of the Mbapp? transfer ? despite the fact that there was no fee ? this also has to do with Karim Benzema. The Frenchman ends his 13th season in Madrid in the summer, after which his current contract will run for another year. At 34, Benzema may be in the last third of his career, but he has grown in maturity and class over the past few years and hasn't lost one iota of scoring. 24 goals in his 28 competitive games this season speak for themselves - and raise the question of how the deserved striker can end his career appropriately.

BVB striker Haaland could also be in demand in Paris

The Benzema successor not only washes the name Haaland into the Madrilenian rumor mill. Robert Lewandowski is also repeatedly associated with Real. Perez wanted to bring him to Madrid when the Pole in the BVB jersey 4-1 with four goals single-handedly heralded the semi-finals of the royal team in the 2012/13 Champions League season. Lewandowski's reluctance to extend his contract in Munich, which also runs until 2023, also has to do with his long-cherished desire to score regularly at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

In general, Erling Haaland should be realizing these days that his extraordinary skills do not make it easier to plan the next step in his career. Rather the opposite is the case. In Spain, the desired destination would be a move to FC Barcelona, ​​which is more than clammy and is more likely to work on a return campaign by Lionel Messi to calm the tense relationship with the disappointed fans. Paris, which in this case could then lose two of its three exceptional players in Mbapp? and Messi, would therefore need replacements and should therefore also have put out feelers to Haaland. But would this step really be a further development for Erling Haaland, let alone the fulfillment of a childhood dream?

BVB striker Erling Haaland sits between the chairs

Because only four or five clubs in Europe could afford the 21-year-old anyway, Erling Haaland is currently sitting between the chairs. A quick clarification of his future, as Borussia Dortmund wants, is therefore currently not in sight. It is quite possible that Haaland will largely exhaust the deadline for activating the clause with which he can get out of his contract.

It would be in Borussia's interest if Erling Haaland could warm to the model that Real President Florentino Perez is said to have submitted to the Haaland side: negotiations with Dortmund about postponing the clause to 2023, then another year BVB, after that the move to Spain's capital, where Haaland could take over from Benzema. The Norwegian only has to say ?yes?.

I highlighted in red the sentences that reveal Haaland news IMO
by order of appearance:

1) Real is his favorite next destination
2) Perez let Haaland know he can't be signed this summer for the reasons the article explains
3) In Spain, Haaland's preferred destination is Barcelona, even better alongside Messi returning (LOL for this last part)
4) PSG is not a step he wished to take as is not his childhood dream nor it furthers his development
5) The last line, as the culmination, of the last paragraph indicates that the postponement until 23 to then join RM will find him in agreement somehow.

3) clearly contradicts 1), (as you say Wolfe) and I am wondering if there is something lost in translation here.
But the overall feeling set by 5) is that for him RM > Barca as destination

Do you have the original article? German is my mother tongue and I can see if something got lost in translation.

Not sure about the reliability of Ruhr Nachrichten though. Dortmund is the biggest city in Ruhrgebiet, so it is a local newspaper, but don't know if they have sources close to Haaland.

 

[JamDav1982]

If they sign Haaland in a years time the exact same issues of both being on the books at same time are there then if think it limits them in future.

It would be more about Benzema if true but they can afford both fairly easily.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Bayern and Madrid both are out due to the fact that Lewandowski and Benzema are still way too good to be benched. They are basically their #1 crackerjacks.

Don't know what it means if he stays another year at BVB. I thought his buyout is only valid this year, so next year you'll probably have to negotiate with BVB which should make him way more expensive.

There is no way Real would ask him to wait until 2023 and try to sign him with no clause. It would be some deal with Dortmund happy to take 75m again next summer as long as they have him for another season.

I think Real would drop Benzema and risk pissing him off if it meant what needed to do to get Haaland but they would try to avoid that.

No, thats not it.

Perez isn't someone who holds onto older players if he sees an opportunity.

Either way, for whatever reason, we are out of the equation if this is true, cause he is certainly moving this transfer window.

Here is the original article that requires payment to be read.
I followed Wolfe's hack advice and retrieved it here (Can you open it?)

Please enlighten us about the crucial parts

 

[El Gato]

As you see yourself, it's basically speculation on things most people that follow outgoing news from Watzke-Raiola-Haaland would already know

Unlikely to mean we can't afford him is the reason for him not coming considering warchest we didn't spend on Mbappe and contracts being moved on in summer
Unless club decides to move Benzema it may get delayed if he's keen on RM
Additional factors are 2023 being more favourable for moving more contracts in positions competing with Mbappe and Haaland (Asensio running out, Hazard entering final year and would be made available for cheap)

Translations of 1, 2, 4 and 5 are fine. The 3rd one is totally wrong as you already assumed. It says (analogously):
In his dream destination Spain there is another option in form of Barca, but their finances are bad. Also, the club is rather working to get Messi back in order to calm the tense relationship with disappointed fans.

ad 5) Last paragraph: It would be both in Madrid's and BVB's interest if Haaland would agree to stay another year and Dortmund would be willing to let him go for the buyout in 2023. Erling only has to agree to that.

Haaland's contract with Nike ended on January 1st, 2022, as of right now Adidas are a big candidate to partner with Haaland. This could be a potential threat to signing Haaland as Barcelona currently wears Nike kits.
