The newspaper “AS” published an exciting report about Erling Haaland’s desire to further demonstrate his abilities during the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, in response to the Spanish club’s imminent signing of Kylian Mbappe.
According to sources close to the Norwegian player, Haaland still dreams of wearing the Real Madrid shirt, and has not lost hope of joining the Merengues in the future, and that is why he wants to show his credentials to the Royal officials in the two Champions League matches.
When Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid was confirmed, the news was like a thunderbolt on Haaland and his entourage, as the source described. It was confirmation of his continuation for another year at City on the one hand, and on the other hand there were great doubts about achieving his dream of wearing the white shirt.
Haaland now wants revenge in some way, and in other words, he wants to make two matches for history against Real Madrid in the Champions League so that he remains in the memory of President Florentino Perez, hoping that he will join Carlo Ancelotti’s squad sooner or later.
When Haaland participated in the semi-final against Real Madrid last season, he was unable to score against Thibaut Courtois, even though Pep Guardiola’s squad won the first leg after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
Now Haaland wants to score at the Merengue and express his abilities, and his ambition is for Real Madrid to take advantage of the release clause in his contract, which starts next summer and is said to be 175 million euros.
