Haaland to Madrid, They Reveal the Bombshell Signing the Club Has in Its Sights

In recent weeks, we have seen how Vinícius's future has exploded in the current Madrid scene. His meeting with Saudi Arabia and his possible departure have lit the fuse. If it were to happen, Real Madrid would need to be alert to fill his spot with another star.

The chosen name would be Erling Haaland, despite his recent renewal with Manchester City. But it seems that Mijatovic is clear about it, as he revealed to Josep Pedrerol in his podcast. The former footballer points out that the Norwegian will end up joining Real Madrid in the future.

"I think it's going to happen," said Pedja when Josep asked him about Haaland and the white team. "He didn't say it publicly, but I know from a good source that he would love to be a Real Madrid footballer," he added. He is convinced that sooner or later a blockbuster signing will occur.

"If you propose the possibility of joining Real Madrid, he wouldn't have any doubts," Mijatovic continued to add. Moreover, he assures that if "he hears this now," he will deny it since his situation is tied to the Etihad. But it would be the definitive proof that the white team is on his mind.

A Signing That Real Madrid Doesn't Forget Although It Doesn't Seem Short-Term

Real Madrid has been following Haaland since he played for Salzburg, before Borussia. Even back then, they considered him a forward to keep in mind. However, they haven't managed to sign him either then or when he joined Manchester City.

But the truth is that at Bernabéu, they haven't forgotten about the Norwegian striker, although thinking in the long term. For the next season, they are focused on signing defenders and a midfielder. These are currently the priorities set for the summer of 2025.

However, if Vinícius takes the step to leave for Saudi Arabia, things could change radically. Real Madrid will not only have enough money from his transfer windfall, but there will also be a spot in the squad that Haaland could fill.
