Borussia Dortmund director Hans-Joachim Watzke believes Erling Haaland will eventually sign for Real Madrid, according to reports. Watzke stated his conviction that Haaland will become a Real Madrid player in the coming years, speaking on Saturday.
Haaland departed Dortmund for Manchester City in the summer of 2022, and has since enjoyed a prolific spell in the Premier League, winning the treble with City in the 2022-23 season. The Norwegian striker has continued his goalscoring form this past season, cementing his status as one of the world’s most feared forwards.
This revelation comes amidst a busy transfer window, with several high-profile players being linked with moves across Europe. Real Madrid have been consistently linked with bolstering their attacking options, and Haaland’s potential arrival would undoubtedly strengthen their squad. The Spanish giants recently secured their 15th Champions League title, defeating Borussia Dortmund in the final.
While no timeframe was specified by Watzke, his comments suggest a future move is highly probable. Haaland currently has several years remaining on his contract with Manchester City, but his ambition and Real Madrid’s consistent interest could lead to negotiations in the future. The potential transfer could reshape the landscape of European football, creating a new dominant force in both the Champions League and domestic leagues.
News also emerged regarding Arsenal being informed that Julian Alvarez is potentially available for a fee of €150 million, though challenges remain in securing his signature. Chelsea have been alerted to the potential availability of Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG, while Rangers have been offered the opportunity to sell Youssef Chermiti for a club-record fee.
