Real Madrid know what they want for the next season. Along with Kylian Mbappe, who is seemingly very close to joining Los Merengues, they also want Erling Haaland to once again be able to compete for the Champions League title.

There have been a lot of rumors surrounding Erling Haaland’s future, and the most recent ones made it look all the more certain that he’ll be going to the Premier League next season. But, according to this report, Real Madrid shouldn’t really lose hope.

According to BILD, Erling Haaland is not in agreement with any club so far, and there are a number of clubs that still are interested. In fact, Real Madrid, according to the report, are Haaland’s dream destination, and the Premier League is just his second choice.

Real Madrid could assemble a partnership for the ages by getting both Mbappe and Haaland

Los Blancos can make this work. Haaland will not come cheap, for sure, but the fact that Real haven’t spent a lot since 2019, coupled with the 180 million that never went into PSG’s bank account, they should be able to afford both of them. One of the more important aspects talked about in the report is whether the club will meet Haaland’s salary expectations, which is reported to be around 30 million euros a year.

It’s a huge salary demand, but that’s what happens when you’re after not one, but the two most sought-after players in the whole world. You give the players what they want, because in turn, they will help you get what you want.

BILD also mentions that Dortmund haven’t given up on the Norwegian yet, either. They keep offering him good contract extension offers, but I really think Haaland has his eyes set on the big prize. I don’t think he will be able to win many trophies with Borussia Dortmund, given their rivals in the league. For the Champions League too, the team is just not good enough to win it all, it seems, which is why Real Madrid is his dream destination, again, per source.

It also tells you why Real Madrid is the team he should join. They’re always in the limelight, and are always challenging for titles. The Bernabeu is demanding, the fans want you to improve after every single game and the pressure makes the right kind of players strive for more. Haaland falls in that category, as well.

This storyline will be the one that we Madrid fans are going to be following all summer, kind of like what happened with Mbappe last summer. It’s almost certain that Haaland will move next season. Whether it’s at Real Madrid alongside the likes of (hopefully) Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior, or in England, that we will have to see in June.
