Red Bull gives wings to Madrid

It will be by chance or that Salzburg is the new mine of European football, but the fact is that the Real Madrid does not stop being interested in talents arising from Red bull salzburg. Now as reported by AS is satelliteing to Dominik Szoboszlai, the new pearl of Hungary and the Austrian Energy Drink Set. A 20-year-old talent who got his country into the Eurocup last Thursday night with a miracle at minute 90 and that he shared a dressing room there, at Red Bull Salzburg, with one of the greats desired by Madrid, Erling haaland, the goal for 2022.

He is not the only one that Madrid has had its eye on in recent times and who has left the prodigious factory in Salzburg. They also passed there, when they were just strangers, Sadio mané (Liverpool) and Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig, the other big club sponsored by Red Bull who also tend to look to Salzburg for obvious reasons.) Two footballers whose signing for the Madrid club has been personally recommended by Zinedine Zidane himself.

The man behind them all is Christoph Freund, the Monchi of Northern Europe. The sporting director of Red Bull Salzburg explained a few months ago in AS the future that he sees for players like Haaland (“It will be the best nine of the next decade”) and Upamecano (“It is powerful and super fast, it can play in any big one”), on the white agenda before the pandemic that cut off the transfer tap in Chamartín.

Szoboszlai is the last gem that he cares with great care. Another who knows that the Salzburg club is actually a great springboard. That's why only has a contract there until 2022, something that will reduce his transfer considerably, a spur that makes the big guys (Milan, Arsenal …) start to swirl around Szoboszlai, including Real Madrid. A club highly respected in Hungary for the ties it strengthened Ferenc Puskas and a place where the new Magyar national idol could have a friendly face, Haaland's. A connection that Madrid would not have to polish because it already exists between two of the best players under 21 on the European scene. Szoboszlai, Haaland, Mané, Upamecano … footballers with wings.
