If it were up to Florentino Pérez alone, Real Madrid would see an avalanche of galactics and young players land this summer. From Kylian Mbappé to Erling Haaland via David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga, the Merengues have great aspirations for the summer market. Only, they will not be able to do all they want, for obvious reasons, and will therefore have to be satisfied with a single expensive arrival, possibly accompanied by recruits at much more correct prices.
The financial crisis has passed through there, and even if the capital club have been relatively spared compared to others, there is also this new Santiago Bernabéu to finish renovating. The staff of Blancos also wants to control its payroll as much as possible. It is therefore difficult to imagine a slew of recruits at huge prices in July and August, and it will logically be necessary to make choices. At least, a choice. And as the daily explains AS, the Madrilenians have decided for their next star recruit.

This summer, Real Madrid will focus on Kylian Mbappé, who is the priority objective for this upcoming transfer window. The decision has already been made, and Erling Haaland will therefore have to wait until summer 2022 if he wishes to don the white tunic. Logically, this would take him further away from Real Madrid, who hope to recruit him for 75 million euros in a little over a year. But other clubs may well enter the dance by then.
The media even explains that today, it is Manchester City which is in pole position in this file which fascinates the biggest European teams, while the other Manchester club, United, is also on the spot. Florentino Pérez and company will therefore have to pray that Halaland does not leave the Ruhr this summer and thus be able to attack in 2022. The decision will also be difficult for the player, who has made Real Madrid his priority. But can he afford to stay and not play in the Champions League next year? He will also have to make a drastic decision …
