Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has been the talk of the town for more than a year now, ever since he started showing his goal-scoring class in Salzburg.
In the meantime, towards the end of 2019, he signed for Borussia Dortmund, where he only confirmed that a bright career awaits him. As Borussia is known as a club that makes players better and then sells them for huge money, it is clear that it won't be long before the Norwegian leaves the "millionaires".
Maybe it will happen already in the summer, and among those interested is Real Madrid...
"Marka", a newspaper in favor of Real, analyzed Haaland and stated the reasons why the "royal club" should bring him, but also why they don't have to do it...
NUMBERS AND THE KILLER'S INSTINCT
The first reason why Haaland is a player for Real can be found in the numbers. Since arriving at Dortmund, he has scored 10 goals in nine games, needing only 13 shots for that performance. The ease with which he put himself in the center of the club's project is impressive, writes "Marka". Reason number two is - that he is only 19 years old. Haaland has more than ten years of top football ahead of him.
"If he proves at Real that he is a player for great deeds, then his career is "doomed" to success," says "Marka".
The third reason is that Haaland has what Real have been looking for for years - he represents the ideal successor to Karim Benzema. The Frenchman is a club legend, it is natural for Real to think about who will come after him... Regardless of the fact that Haaland and he are different striker profiles. And the last reason "for" is - Haaland's current club. Borussia is a club that operates from sales and it won't be long before they bring a young striker to the market. That would make negotiations easier for Real, although not necessarily.
THE "KINGS CLUB" FACTOR, PRESSURE...
The reasons why Real could give up on Haaland are not negligible, says "Marka". The first reason: experience. It may be early for Haaland for the biggest club in the world.
"More goals in the shirt of Borussia and the experience of playing in the Bundesliga could be a good ticket for Real".
Pressure is another reason that could be a stumbling block for Haaland. Playing in Real Madrid is not for everyone, great aces like Gareth Bale, Kaka, Arjen Robben felt it the hard way...
"Nowhere is the pressure like in Madrid. Haaland's youth can be a positive, but it is not excluded that it can be a minus either," writes "Marka".
The third reason is - minutes. Is she guaranteed at Real?
"Haaland can be the main character in Borussia for years, but it is not so easy at Real. Just let him look at the example of Luka Jović", "Marka" concluded.
