This Friday, the Madrid-based media outlet AS sheds light on the evolving dynamics between Real Madrid and Erling Haaland.
According to AS, Erling Haaland is no longer seen as a backup plan behind Kylian Mbappé. The strong rapport between Real Madrid and his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, is considered a significant factor that could sway the decision in favor of recruiting Haaland next summer.
One crucial detail is worth noting: Erling Haaland would reunite with his friend Jude Bellingham, a former teammate from Borussia Dortmund. The positive relationship between the two players could serve as an asset for the Madrid locker room.
Another favorable aspect is that Erling Haaland has purchased a house in Spain, specifically in Marbella. However, there are rumors suggesting Mbappé may have done the same. Currently under contract with Manchester City until 2027, Haaland will have a release clause of €200 million next summer. In contrast, Mbappé, for now, remains potentially available for free. »
