Erling Haaland of Manchester City is a target for Real Madrid, according to a recent report by AS. If Los Blancos are unable to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain in January, rumors have it that they will pursue the Norwegian international.
Haaland’s Outstanding Performance In Premier League Soccer
As the center of the Manchester United offense, Haaland has put on a number of outstanding performances to warrant a stellar campaign. Over the course of 21 games for Manchester City this season across many competitions, the Norwegian sensation has hammered in 19 goals and picked up five assists.
In the Premier League, the 23-year-old has been the line leader, averaging 4.0 shots, 1.1 crucial passes, and 0.4 dribbles per ninety minutes. Based on his 74.2% pass completion percentage in the English first division (data via whoscored), he has to improve his ball distribution in the final third.
In the summer of 2027, his current contract at Etihad Stadium will expire. Real Madrid will therefore have difficulty signing him next year.
Will Haaland be a Dream option for Real Madrid?
Haaland has the vision to create a few good opportunities for his teammates in the opposition’s half, in addition to his ability to strike the ball accurately and powerfully from a long distance. Over the past several seasons in the Premier League, he has shown himself to be a goal-scoring machine. He can overwhelm rival defenders in the air with his powerful 1.95-meter body.
On the other hand, the Norwegian international needs to figure out how to enhance his link-up play. As long as he can adjust to life in La Liga without any problems, Haaland has the ability to help Real Madrid contend for many major trophies in the upcoming seasons.
Haaland, who is 23 years old, has a bright future ahead of him and would be Los Blancos’ ideal choice come January or at the end of the current campaign. He possesses the skills to be the primary center forward for Real Madrid for the ensuing ten years. The Spanish team should thus concentrate on doing everything within their power to entice Haaland to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium the following season.
