Haaland's two goals (20 years) against Brugge put Haaland back in the trigger. Especially in Real Madrid. Every day that passes in the offices of the Bernabéu there is a greater conviction that the Norwegian is Lewandowski's successor on the international scene. And his name is written in gold letters on the hiring roadmap for the next few years. In 2021 Mbappé, Camavinga if there is a possibility and, in 2022, Haaland. And it will be then when a new era begins for the white entity. Haaland has scored 10 goals in 10 games this season. His figures are a constant, something prodigious. The 29 goals he scored in 27 games for Salzburg in Austria are supported by the 26 goals in 28 games, already at the most absolute first level, since he arrived at Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid is aware that it is very well positioned in the bid for the Norwegian striker, for whom, of course, there are very tough suitors. The most, Manchester United. Even Bayern, according to sources very close to the forward point to this newspaper, has also asked about the future situation of the player, all, given the rumor spread last summer that there is a signed clause that would leave Borussia for 75 million in 2022. AS already reported a few dates ago that this clause did not exist, as confirmed by Borussian CEO Hans Joaquim Watzke in Bild this week. What does exist, according to sources of all solvency who participated directly in the negotiations between Haaland and Borussia for his signing, is a verbal pact (of gentlemen) between his agent, Mino Raiola, and Borussia himself, to facilitate its departure from 2022. But there is no fixed price for it to do so.
There are compelling reasons to affirm that Madrid is the best positioned in the signing of Haaland. If it is true that Raiola has no relationship with Florentino Pérez, his relationship with José Ángel Sánchez is very fluid. The super agent, after the approach he had with Madrid for the Areola case (he is his representative) is crazy to start a fluid relationship with the White House, something that has resisted him since, in 2016, he went out to fight with Florentino for the frustrated signing of Pogba. And that's already past water. On the other hand, Real Madrid has another great ally, and that is Odegaard. The young Norwegian is one of Haaland's best friends on and off the field. When they are with the national team they are inseparable and their connection in the game, pure dynamite.
The other point that runs in Madrid's favor, as AS has been telling, is the admiration that CEO Hans Joaquim Watzke professes for Florentino Pérez, He sees him as a champion of business, especially because of the business adventure that ACS undertook when it mainly acquired Hochtief, a construction company with a large presence in the Rhine basin, which is home to Borussia. The German team has become an ally of Madrid in its troubles with UEFA, and that fluid relationship has been evident in the latest transfers of Achraf and Reinier to the Borussian entity.
The Germans will make it easier for Madrid than for any other entity with Haaland. That does not mean that Borussia is going to get rid of the Norwegian at a lower price than the market dictates. His signing was a real bargain: 20 million euros plus 23 in commissions to the father (8) and Mino Raiola (15). Nowadays, that number grows with each goal the young forward scores … In 2022, just when Benzema ends his current contract at Madrid, there are many possibilities of seeing him play at the Bernabéu …
