Erling Haaland‘s association with several clubs is always in the spotlight. It’s him making headlines again, with reports claiming that many clubs across Europe are interested in his services. While many journalists have previously stated that the race for Haaland is primarily between Real Madrid and Manchester City, nothing can be said at this early stage of the upcoming transfer window.
On the other side, Real Madrid have had a difficult start to the week, having been humiliated at home by their bitter rivals FC Barcelona. The scenes in the club are dramatic, and with the supporters, even more so. Everyone is in the crosshairs of the fans, including the players, manager, and board, who appear to be enraged by the unanticipated disaster at the Bernabeu.
Things appear to be going downhill, but as they say, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and Real was able to extract some advantages from this setback in a relatively short period of time.
The upset at the Bernabeu made it evident that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is failing his tactics miserably. Apart from Karim Benzema as a striker under whose absence the squad suffers immensely, the Italian coach appears to have no plan B.
Following a period of self-examination and evaluation, something appears to have occurred to the Real Madrid leadership that may be helpful to the club.
Florentino Perez may have finally understood a part of the crisis at Real Madrid
No matter how crucial Karim Benzema is, he is getting older and is slowly but steadily approaching retirement while also being subjected to what are becoming routine injuries. There is an urgent need for squad depth at his position that the coach can rely on and employ in Benzema’s absence or alongside him.
Per reports from Cadena SER, Florentino Perez has made cognizance of this circumstance, which has heightened his desire to recruit Erling Haaland, whom he regards as the ideal alternative for the French striker at Real.
This might be one of the many positives of the Clasico humiliation, which led to the club emphasizing the necessity for a natural striker in the face of Erling Haaland.

While Haaland’s preference remains a point of dialogue, this additional reason for Real Madrid to push even harder for the striker provides fans with a light of optimism.
