Haaland road cleared

Manchester City and Chelsea have now wanted to face other incorporations so the Madrid club is free to maintain its initial plan to go for Haaland in 2022 and focus now in this reborn opportunity that is opened by Mbappé.

But it has been found a new contender on the way: Bayern Munich. The sporting director of the Bavarian club, Hasan Salihamidzic, admitted on German television the interest in the Norwegian striker: “You have to look at people like that, even though they are a Dortmund player. Sixty goals in sixty games … You have to look for players like that,” said the Bosnian.

A signing that, by demarcation in the field, economic quantity and philosophy (he is the captain of England) ‘discards’ Haaland. Guardiola himself hinted yesterday that the only striker for whom they are going to bid, if that is the case, is Tottenham. “If they do not want to negotiate, there is no transfer. If they open to negotiate, not only Manchester City will try to sign him. But everything depends on Tottenham …”, said the Catalan coach.
