Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, the German striker, Borussia Dortmund, has become a clear target for the most important clubs in the world seeking to kidnap the player next summer, but the most fierce battle, which takes place behind the scenes of closed rooms, and the close circle of Halland himself, is the one that is currently burning between Real and Barcelona.
The newspaper “Marca” revealed a heated battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona, because of their desire to persuade Erling Haaland, the Dortmund star, to sign for him, to the extent that the two clubs’ presidents held individual meetings once with the player’s father, and another with his agent, in order to convince them that the offer was the best .
Halland has been outside the accounts of participating in matches for several weeks, due to his injury, and therefore did not appear with his team in the Champions League, or the German League, but his name did not leave the international media, but did not leave the Real and Barca administrations. Even for one day, as a necessary target for the fans of both clubs.
The newspaper pointed out that Barcelona president Joan Laporta was keen to meet with Halland’s business manager more than once, the last of which was in Monaco last week, to confirm the seriousness of the offer made to the player, before Perez, the president of Real Madrid, moved and held a meeting with the player’s father to present a new offer.
Despite the arrival of the movements of the Spanish giants and entering into a “fierce battle” behind the scenes to win Haaland’s signature, other clubs showed interest in the player, led by Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
And perhaps Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, is more sophisticated in attracting Haaland, as he spoke publicly that the “Norway miracle” is his goal in the summer market, and for this reason, Mino Raiola, the player’s agent, indicated that the player’s move to “Camp Nou” would make his salary much higher than the rest of the players. Barcelona.
And “Marca” indicated that Laporta is ready to do anything to include Halland, to be the best compensation for Messi’s departure, taking advantage of the imminent transfer of Mbappe to Real, and therefore he will have convincing arguments to obtain the signature of the “Norwegian miracle”, because at that time he will be the first star of “Barca”, unlike The case if he joined Real in the presence of Mbappe and the rest of the stars.
Despite Laporta’s confidence, a Norwegian TV report revealed a meeting between Real Madrid and Halland’s father held in Norway two days ago, during which everything was finalized, although Raiola talks regarding that the ball is in the player’s own court, who has to decide his destination, and the choice between Real and Barcelona.
