It is a file that has been raised again in recent days.

Money would not be a problem in this file, since the amount recovered from the sale of the Brazilian would be substantial, and Erling Haaland has this famous departure clause for non-English clubs which would amount to around 200 million euros according to several media. In addition, he would have always dreamed of playing in Spain. Business to follow …
