As 2022 is just around the corner, Real Madrid are rubbing their hands together because it could be the year of Real Madrid when it comes to signings. Europe's big clubs are looking with trepidation at the team Florentino Perez can put together. Laporta will do all he can to prevent Haaland from landing in the Spanish capital.
In the winter transfer window, moves are expected, but they will be a warm-up for what awaits during the summer. Clubs will try to play the minimum and will be looking at how they can get a head start on the way to a busy summer window.
There are many big names whose contracts will expire on 30th June and who will be released if they do not renew in the coming months. In a few days' time, they will also be able to negotiate with the club of their choice, which further intensifies the rumours, morbidity and whispers in the corridors of the offices. Mbappe tops the list, but so does Haaland.
As reported by the newspaper 'Marca', among the clubs of Europe there is concern and fear for the big team that Real Madrid can form for the 22-23 season, as they could play Haaland and Mbappe.
The aforementioned media outlet stressed that Joan Laporta and his entire team will try to prevent the Norwegian striker from wearing the white shirt. They will look for the formula to avoid it and it even becomes an obsession.
Mino Raiola, his agent, has already met with the Catalan boss to exchange views on the future. The price of Haaland reaches 75 million euros, a high amount for Barcelona due to their financial situation, but it is not expensive due to what is being paid and the type of player we are talking about.
The newspaper 'Bild' confirmed that Haaland's buyout clause of 75 million euros will be activated in the summer, so the striker will be showered with offers and Madrid will be one of the main players, leading to a battle between the powers that be to avoid an all-powerful Real Madrid.
Mbappe's case is easier. Despite the fact that his teammates do nothing but try to convince him, the Frenchman sees an open door to a change of scenery and finally be able to fulfil his desire to play for Madrid.
The footballer wants to explode and not be almost in the shadow of Leo Messi and company. As of today, Mbappe understands that his departure has more advantages than disadvantages and at PSG he has begun to build his body.
The player's idea is to negotiate as soon as possible in order to have everything sorted out by the end of the season. 'AS' indicated that it would not be confirmed after March. In any case, Madrid will try to form a golden striker, and that is what their most direct competitors want to avoid at all costs.
