Real Madrid Set To Push For Haaland Transfer This Summer

Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham are two players Real Madrid are seeking to sign this summer in order to complete their revamped squad, according to new report.

After several discussions with Bellingham’s agents, Los Blancos, according to The Independent, are already convinced that they will be able to obtain his signature. They now want to hire a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema as well.

According to The Independent, Haaland has been chosen for the position, and the Spanish powerhouses are aiming to lure him away from Manchester City at the end of the current campaign.

Bellingham and Haaland already have a bond because they were coworkers at Borussia Dortmund for a season and a half before the latter moved to the Etihad Stadium last summer.

Kylian Mbappe has also been linked to Real Madrid for a while, and now that Paris Saint-Germain lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals last week, it becomes more likely that he will be lured away from the Parc des Princes.

But, after seeing Mbappe reject their efforts in 2021, Madrid has moved on and will try to sign Haaland before the upcoming season.

Since Benzema is now 35 years old, Madrid will be assembling a new look lineup in the summer. Attacking reinforcements are a necessity.

Endrick, a young Brazilian star who Madrid recently signed from Palmeiras, won’t be in Madrid until 2024, therefore Haaland would be the perfect replacement for their current lack of depth at center-forward.

With Pep Guardiola’s team, the Man City striker will have a busy time. The second leg of City’s Champions League round of 16 match against RB Leipzig will take precedence next week as they continue to aim to challenge Arsenal for the Premier League crown.
