Erling Haaland has been mooted as a Real Madrid ‘Galactico’ of the future, but the Blancos have reportedly cooled interest in the Manchester City ace.
♦ Blancos have monitored Norwegian star
♦ Now have Mbappe & Endrick on the way
♦ Only flops will see interest rekindled
WHAT HAPPENED?
The current holders of La Liga and Champions League titles are forever in the market for the best players on the planet. With Florentino Perez filling the role of club president, that recruitment model has been in place at Santiago Bernabeu for some time.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Real have previously acquired the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Luis Figo, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, while Kylian Mbappe has become the latest global superstar to agree a switch to the Spanish capital. There has been plenty of speculation regarding Haaland doing likewise at some stage.
DID YOU KNOW?
He is currently with the Premier League champions, but has exit clauses in his contract at the Etihad Stadium that could be triggered. According to SPORT, Real are no longer in a rush to explore those options and bring Haaland in alongside Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.
WHAT NEXT?
That is because they also have Brazilian wonderkid Endrick on the way, with a deal about to be completed for the South American sensation as he prepares to turn 18. Real will only turn their attention back towards Haaland if the talented teenager struggles to make an impact in Europe – with that news set to be well received in Manchester.
