Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of SCC Naples, made a surprising revelation about Erlng Haaland’s career.
Erling Haaland is one of the most prominent strikers in the world. Arriving at Manchester City in the summer of 2022, the Norwegian had an exceptional season with the Citizens, winning the Champions League, the Premier League and the FA Cup.
But Haaland could have taken a very different path. According to Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, the Partenopei had the opportunity to sign the player when he was still playing at RB Salzburg in Austria.
Raiola had everything planned
“I was about to sign Erling Haaland for 50 million euros from Salzburg,” the Italian leader said in comments relayed on Twitter by journalist Fabrizio Romano. The official proposal was ready but Mino Raiola told me: please don’t try to sign Erling because I have already planned his next move. »
The cyborg finally joined the ranks of Borussia Dortmund in January 2020. After three seasons at BVB, he signed for Manchester City, where he continues to scare the scorers.
