Real Madrid has replied clearly to the interest of other clubs in its stars, particularly against the threat of Barcelona in the transfer market. Despite the rumors about Yamal, Real Madrid signs one of Laporta's favorites. This move shows Madrid's ambition to stay at the forefront and compete at the highest level.
Florentino Pérez's Dream
One of the names on everyone's lips is Erling Haaland. The Norwegian forward has been considered a priority target for Real Madrid in recent years. The club has been closely following his progress at Manchester City. However, according to Defensa Central, there are conditions that must be met for this transfer to materialize.
First, the player must express his desire to leave City, which hasn't happened so far. Additionally, the operation could only be carried out if Real Madrid makes a significant sale.
This sale would involve the departure of one of its most valuable players, like Vinícius, Rodrygo, Mbappé, or Bellingham. Of these, the last two are the least likely to leave, as they seem fully committed to the club.
Blow for Laporta
The president of Barcelona has made it clear on several occasions that one of his future goals is to sign Erling Haaland, the star forward of Manchester City. Despite Barça's financial limitations, Laporta still sees Haaland as the key to the long-term project.
The interest in Haaland is not new. During summer 2022, when the Norwegian was deciding his future, Barcelona was very close to negotiating his transfer. Ultimately, the player chose to join Manchester City.
However, Laporta hasn't abandoned the idea of bringing him to Barça in the future. Signing Haaland would be a significant boost for the blaugrana attack, strengthening the front line with a world-class scorer.
Conditions for the Departure of Big Stars
Real Madrid is known for its policy of not retaining players who don't wish to stay at the club. If any of these key players decided to leave, the club would demand a transfer offer in line with their market value. This way, Madrid ensures that only those players who truly want to be part of the team are included in its project.
Although as of today there are no signs that any of these players want to leave, the possibility remains open. The club has managed these situations by always prioritizing the long-term project over individualities.
