The battle for Norwegian striker Haaland has officially started since last summer. Real Madrid barca and Manchester City, as well as Ligue 1 giants Paris, have expressed great interest in the future striker. They are willing to offer Haaland the top annual salary in world football, even on par with Mbappe. Haaland's agent, Rayola, maneuvered between the big clubs in an attempt to maximize Haaland's benefits.
Recently, a number of British media have reported that Manchester City have reached an agreement with the Norwegian striker, including Sky Sports, and seem to think that Haaland will play for the Blue Moon next season. Sky Sports offered Haaland's next home odds, with Manchester City being the hottest. The odds for the future striker to join Manchester City have been lowered to 1.05, while his odds for a move to Real Madrid are 1.30. As a result, the situation seems to be gradually clear, and Haaland has come infinitely close to Manchester City.
Recently, the Spanish media have also reported that Real Madrid is pessimistic about Haaland's deal, and the Real Madrid reporter of Marca even said bluntly that he believes that Real Madrid has given up the idea of signing Haaland, and they are fully withdrawing from Haaland's competition. Previously, Real Madrid's signing of Haaland was very positive. Now that the early Mingjin army is collected, it is really not like lafayette's style. After all, there is still some time before the summer window, and Haaland has not completely given up on the idea of joining Madrid.
The only thing that could make Lafayette fully withdraw from the Haaland scramble was that they had already made a deal that was more important than Haaland, so that the Norwegian's sky-high deal was less necessary for Real Madrid. Judging from the recent news from the French and Western media, Real Madrid should have negotiated with Mbappe, and the Frenchman will play for Real Madrid in the new season.
Opinion on the grander Paris side about Kylian Mbappe's contract extension has become increasingly calm, and the recent news about Paris is more about the plan to clean up the team's dressing room and new signings, all of which means that Mbappe's time in Paris has entered the countdown.
Real Madrid had wanted to swallow Mbappe and Haaland together, but between the current squad structure of the team, strengthening the midfield may be the most urgent delay. Lafayette's choice to abandon Haaland after getting Mbappe is indeed calm and restrained.
