Madrid see from a distance what is happening in Can Barça, with the elections in sight on January 24. But despite the distance there are things that splash. Josep Maria Minguella, Emili Rousaud's advisor and future Barça sports vice president if Els Millors wins the Barça candidacy, hinted on Wednesday that Erling Haaland will play for the Barça club next season if Rousaud ends up winning the elections on January 24. Haaland, one of the main names on Florentino Pérez's short-term roadmap.
Minguella thus hints at an agreement with the player's representative, Mino Raiola, and with the club, Borussia Dortmund, to activate the signing of the 20-year-old Norwegian player if they access the club's government. Haaland has not been linked only to the candidacy of Emili Rousaud. Mino Raiola's good relationship with Joan Laporta also allows him to be linked to Estimem's candidacy for Barça.
At Real Madrid they are calm with this situation because they have been working on the Haaland issue for months and they know perfectly the situation of the forward. First, It will be impossible to get him out of Borussia at a reasonable price before the summer of 2022. It is then that Raiola has a verbal pact with Borussia to facilitate your departure. Before, Dortmund can ask what they want for him. This pact came about because Raiola managed to get Haaland there under very favorable conditions: 20 million euros plus 23 in commissions to the father (8) and Mino Raiola (15).
On the other hand, Madrid knows well that Haaland's desire is to wear the white jersey in the short term. As he has said on several occasions, he grew up watching the goals of Christian, his great idol, at Real Madrid. There is another factor, and it is Odegaard, a great friend of Haaland who is doing a job in the shadows to attract him every time they coincide in the concentrations of the Norwegian team.
Madrid has the Haaland case very well tied. It matches him in time. 2022 is when Benzema ends his contract with Real Madrid and it will be easy to give him the alternative. Your agent, Raiola, who does not have much contact with Florentino due to what happened in the past by Pogba, He does have a magnificent relationship with José Ángel Sánchez and is eager to start working with the 'White House'. And finally, the CEO of Borussia, Hans-Joaquim Watzke, is an admirer of Florentino in the business world and is always positioned in favor of Madrid in matters of ECA or UEFA (Achraf or Reinier are also considered favors rendered). Haaland, white and bottled.
