A Spanish press report stated, today, Tuesday, that Real Madrid began a plan to search for a replacement for its French star Karim Benzema, whose contract expires at the end of the current season
Real Madrid wanted to renew Benzema’s contract, but the successive injuries that struck the player recently made Meringue think of a replacement
According to the Spanish newspaper “AS”, Real Madrid wants to include the Norwegian Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker
Last summer, Halland’s name was linked to a move to Real Madrid, but Merengue’s focus with French Kylian Mbappe prompted the Norwegian striker to move to Manchester City
The newspaper pointed out that Real Madrid is seeking to activate the penalty clause in Haaland’s contract with Manchester City, which can be activated in the summer of 2024
The newspaper confirmed that Halland wanted to move to Real Madrid last summer, but his father and late agent Mino Raiola advised him not to do so, in light of the presence of the brilliant Karim Benzema in the attack of the royal team
She pointed out that Real Madrid will renew Benzema’s contract for at least another season, until reaching the summer of 2024, at which time he can try again and convince Halland to fulfill his old dream of wearing the Meringue shirt, which always puts him close to the Champions League title and the Golden Ball
