Operation Galactic: Haaland, more feasible than Mbappé

Erling Haaland (20) is one of the jewels of the transfer market. The Real Madrid monitors every step of the striker, currently in the Borussia Dortmund, waiting for the exact moment to go for it. This summer may be the indicated date. While the main objective is Kylian Mbappe (22), the club wants to sign a star this coming summer and, if this option gets complicated, they will go for the Norwegian, as reported by Josep Pedrerol in The beach bar.

The economic aspect is going to be key when deciding. From that point of view, Haaland's arrival is much more feasible than Mbappé's. Borussia Dortmund's has a value of 110 million euros according Transfermarkt, away from 180 what does the attacker have PSG. Although they are estimates and calculate that Haaland will have a higher price, the club is aware that the outlay will be lower in one case than in the other. And not only in the purchase but also in the salary. Erling is currently charging around 8 million euros net per season, while Mbappé, more than 22. A notable difference from 14 million.

Both have the concern to play for Real Madrid, and would be willing to listen to any proposal from the white club, but Haaland has the approval of Dortmund. As this newspaper reported, the German club made a commitment with its agent, Mino Raiola, to facilitate the exit if he wanted a change of scene. In theory, this condition would come into effect in 2022, but the bad sports situation (in Bundesliga they are out of the positions that give access to European competition next year) and economic (they have foreseen a deficit of 75 million euros this course) could advance the facts.

PSG will not make it so easy. It will also depend on the strength that Mbappé makes, but the board is offering him a great contract for his renewal that Real Madrid cannot reach. For this reason, his signing would only be possible in two cases: the first, if the forward decides not to renew, although in this case it would be more likely to undertake the operation in 2022 and for free; the second depends on whether PSG launches for Messi for next season, since it would not be feasible to maintain three salaries of such caliber (also taking into account that of Neymar). Whatever happens, Madrid will always respect the times of both the player and the club, with whom they have a great relationship.

Whatever happens, Madrid is already preparing a new project and he knows that everything revolves around the signing of a star. The accounts this year are not the desired ones, but an effort will be made that will start by selling some players and making room in the squad. Everything to make a galactic signing again.
