Barcelona plan to hijack Real Madrid’s agreement with Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland – Paper Round

Madrid is Haaland’s preferred destination Real Madrid have reportedly raced into the lead in the battle to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland. AS reveal that the Santiago Bernabeu is Haaland’s preferred destination despite interest from the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Manchester United. Real Madrid are confident that they are best positioned to sign the 21-year-old, so the only sticking point is whether he joins this summer or in 2023.

AS state that the “definitive meeting” between Haaland and Dortmund will take place later this month. The German club and Real Madrid are both open to delaying the deal to 2023, but Haaland and his agent Mino Raiola want the move to happen this summer.

Mbappe looks set to join the Liga side this summer and it would be simply jaw-dropping if Haaland followed the Frenchman to the Spanish capital. Real Madrid may want to delay the Haaland transfer to 2023 – mainly due to Mbappe’s impending move — but if they need to make the signing this summer, they surely won’t pass up the opportunity. The only problem from that would be: what happens to Karim Benzema? Paris Saint-Germain could be a potential destination for the French forward, who could end up replacing Mbappe for the Ligue 1 leaders.
