For several weeks, rumors of Erling Haaland's departure for Spain have become more and more insistent. The father of the 23-year-old striker, Alf-Inge, is even preparing his son's departure according to Sport. Two clubs are on the track of the Norwegian giant: FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, market conditions make this transfer difficult to achieve.
If Sport argues that Real Madrid seemed to hold the rope, given that the number 9 position was weakened after the departure of Benzema, the trend is no longer the same today. Especially since the Haaland clan was sure, at the start of the year, that the transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Madrid was in the final stages. Real's option being the priority, Barça focusing instead on rebalancing its finances initially. Joan Laporta wants Haaland in 2025, after the departure of Lewandowski, but Alf-Inge does not want to lose contact with Real Madrid, despite the probable transfer of Kylian Mbappé to the Merengues.
