Madrid’s jewelThe situation with Erling Haaland and Real Madrid resembles the idea that “all roads lead to Rome,” suggesting that a future move to Madrid for the Norwegian striker seems increasingly likely. With Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez having already secured Kylian Mbappé for this season, attention is now shifting towards Haaland, who may become a focus for the club, potentially with Pep Guardiola’s support.
Defensa Central reports that Guardiola, in private discussions at Manchester City, has suggested that he would be open to the idea of swapping Haaland for Rodrygo Goes. This idea, however, does not align with Real Madrid’s current plans.
Guardiola has never viewed Haaland as essential, but he considers Rodrygo a high-quality player who can fit well into his tactical system, given his versatility across the attack. Despite ongoing speculation about Rodrygo’s future, confidence in him remains high, as shown by his performances early in the season. Consequently, there is no serious consideration of his departure, and Pérez is not directly involved in pursuing Haaland.
