This Wednesday Real Madrid and Manchester City face off at Santiago Bernabéu. They will play the second leg of the Champions League play-offs with a spot in the round of 16 at stake. The Merengues bring a favorable result from the first leg after winning 2-3 at the Etihad that they need to confirm.

However, it might not be the only thing at stake as several players could be followed. Both teams have interests in the market that clash and could have a new battle. Especially after the signing that Courtois requested from Manchester City before the match.

The Belgian goalkeeper has given an interview before facing the team coached by Guardiola. And he has put the name of Erling Haaland on the table as a possible teammate. It was in a chat with Rio Ferdinand where he named the Norwegian forward as an ideal player for Madrid.

"A forward like Haaland in our team would score many goals" he acknowledged without much doubt. He believes that the Whites' style is key since "we are very offensive." "Haaland is that type of forward who thrives and we have the quality to get there" he concluded.

Real Madrid Could Have a Chance to Sign Haaland This Summer Although It's Unlikely

For a long time, Haaland's name has been on the Whites' agenda as a possible signing. They were already following him when he was at Salzburg, and when he left Borussia, they made an attempt. But he went to City, and they preferred to focus on bringing Mbappé.

But the truth is they haven't forgotten about Haaland, and this summer they could have an opportunity to sign him. He is one of the names that has been most mentioned in case Vinícius leaves. Arabia wants the Brazilian, and his place could be taken by Erling.

There would be room since Mbappé would return to the left wing with the Norwegian as the center forward. Although it seems complicated, no matter how much money they offer, that it could materialize. Especially because Haaland recently renewed his contract with the Citizen team.
