Michu is someone Erling Haaland really looks up to according to Diario AS. The Norwegian loved watching the former Swansea and Rayo Vallecano man and apparently enjoys a close bond with him.
Michu, therefore, is well-placed to comment on the Borussia Dortmund forward’s much-debated future. Speaking with Cadena SER he offered his take on what Haaland will do in the summer.
“I was with Haaland and I had a conversation with him,” Michu said. “I don’t think he’s going to continue at Dortmund. Haaland is looking for a very strong team that can compete in the Champions League. He’s looking for a competitive team.
“He gave me the feeling that he’s looking for a long-term sporting project and he told me he likes Spain. He’s thinking more about a sporting project than from an economic perspective. If [Kylian] Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, I think Barcelona would be a very good option. And in these times, Haaland is cheap.”
As Michu alluded to, Madrid are in the running for Haaland but their priority is very much Mbappe, who’ll become a free agent when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer. It’s taken for granted he’s headed for Madrid.
But Haaland’s case is less clear-cut. It seems highly likely that he’s going to leave Dortmund and there is a much-discussed informal release clause that’s about to come into play. But it would take a brave man to guess his potential destination. From Barcelona’s perspective, he’s undoubtedly their priority.
If EARLING HALLAN GO TO BARCA IT WILL BE GOOD FOR BARCA.
