The name of Erling Haaland has often been mentioned on the Real Madrid side. Before the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the Spanish media assured that the Merengue leaders were considering combining the two most fashionable attackers of the moment. Since then, Mbappé has become the providential scorer for Casa Blanca and Haaland has extended his contract with the Cityzens until 2034. Without huge surprise, the Norwegian is not about to arrive in the Spanish capital. And according to Wesley Sneijder, the former Madrid midfielder, this is a very good thing.
“I think Real Madrid did very well not to sign Haaland. At one point they were still considering lining up Mbappé on the left with Haaland in attack, but I think the situation is much better today because, in my opinion, Mbappé has become a real striker. His way of positioning himself as a striker is unique, and I think he is now much better as a striker than as a left winger, so it no longer makes sense to sign Haaland. This is good news for Manchester City.confided the Batavian in comments relayed by A.S..
