Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Norwegian striker Erling Haaland from Manchester City next year.
As per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid would be prepared to sell Vinicius Junior in order to sign Erling Haaland. The report further adds that a swap deal could be possible if the two clubs can agree on it. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Real Madrid have been using Kylian Mbappe as their striker, but the French international is more suited to the role on the left. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid decide to get rid of Vinicius Junior and bring in Haaland. It would add much-needed balance to the Real Madrid attacking unit.
Haaland has been one of the best strikers in the world since joining Manchester City, and he has been scoring goals consistently at the highest level. There is no doubt that he is one of the best attackers in the world, and the opportunity to join Real Madrid could be quite exciting for him.
It would be the ideal next step in his career. The 25-year-old striker has already won major trophies with Manchester City, and he will look to take on a new challenge now. The move to Real Madrid could be ideal.
The Merengues are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down for the Norwegian. He is entering the peak years of his career, and this could be the right time for Real Madrid to secure his signature.
Vinicius Junior has not been at his best
Meanwhile, Vinicius Junior has not been at his best this season. There is no doubt that the Brazilian is a world-class player, but he has struggled in recent months. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are actually willing to sanction his departure. There is no doubt that he would be an exceptional acquisition for most teams in the world, and he has been linked with Manchester City.
The Brazilian international is still quite young, and he has plenty of time to regain his form and confidence. If the 25-year-old manages to bounce back strongly, he could be an asset for Manchester City. Swap deals are often difficult to execute, and it remains to be seen whether all parties can come to an agreement.
