newspaper revealed "El Mundo" Spanish for one of the main reasons behind the failed transfer of Norwegian striker Erling Haaland to Real Madrid last summer.
According to the newspaper, Real Madrid put Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland in their plans to strengthen the Mercato squad last summer.
The White Club speculated that the French striker would sign a contract renewal with Paris Saint-Germain, and in the meantime held talks with the Norwegian.
The newspaper revealed that Real Madrid and Haaland held a meeting between March and April 2022 to learn more about the White Team project, at the same time that he held talks with Man City, but Haaland ruled out joining Real Madrid, preferring Pep Guardiola’s team, and the reason for that is French striker Karim. Benzema.
According to the newspaper, Haaland asked Real officials about the way he could play in Real Madrid with Karim Benzema, but club officials did not guarantee him that he would play in the starting line-up for Carlo Ancelotti, in the position that Karim Benzema belongs to.
There were also two blocked positions in the attack, one for Vinicius, who made his talent explode last year at the hands of Carlo Ancelotti, and the other for Kylian Mbappe.
The Paris Saint-Germain player’s decision to renew was a major setback for Real Madrid’s sports planning in the short, medium and long term, as Mbappe would have been the cornerstone of the new project.
The newspaper concluded that when Kylian Mbappe said no, Haaland had already signed for Manchester City.
