Haaland 'brings' Szoboszlai closer

The caroms in life and in football can have unexpected effects. If Real Madrid can continue to keep an eye on Dominik Szoboszlai, it is partly … Erling Haaland. The sale of the Norwegian tank to Borussia Dortmund last January prevented Red Bull Salzburg from selling Szoboszlai to Milan when everything was practically closed. A signing that would have shielded the Hungarian at San Siro and out of reach of Madrid and the other greats (Arsenal, Bayern …) who look at the young Hungarian inside (20 years) with growing interest.

The sequence of events was a domino effect. Boban, head of Milan transfers, traveled to Salzburg to close the transfer four days after the closing of the market last January and everything seemed on track to return to Szoboszlai but Red Bull thought better of it because he had just sold his other star (Haaland) and is a club without financial hardships after entering 200 million in transfers in recent years. Further, Milan did not reach the clause that Szoboszlai has, which is 20 million plus an extra percentage that corresponds to Red Bull for the player's rights. A club, the Austrian, which has become a benchmark for Madrid, almost a white nursery.

The new Bernabéu as a possible meeting point from 2022 (the moment when Haaland will be on the market) for two kids (both are 20 years old) who got on so well in Salzburg that they became inseparable. They keep in touch on a regular basis. “I miss Erling, we are still good friends”The Hungarian recently confessed in an interview.

The funny thing is that the move that brought Haaland to Dortmund and kept Szoboszlai on target is once again threatened by the same contender, Milan. As La Gazzetta reported this Saturday, the entity rossonera He does not give up the talented Hungarian, although he still has the same problem as almost a year ago: money. The competition has grown and clubs from three different countries have entered the scene who can offer the transfer price without problems and also a juicier salary for the footballer.
