4D chess sending him to Dortmund to develop and we getting Sancho inbetween
My source is the same as post number 6239 of this thread
You said you weren't going to name your sources! Amateur!!
Now all you need is a cringe catch phrase and you're good to go. May I suggest 'We Here Go!'?
How about, “It’s go time”
I’ll go work for the Sun then
it is published
https://www.realmadrid.com/en/news/...l-year-with-a-positive-result-of-874000-euros
"THE CLUB GOES FROM HAVING A NET DEBT OF €240 MILLION IN THE 2019/20 SEASON TO €46 MILLION IN THE 2020/21 SEASON (DEBT/EBITDA RATIO 0.3X)."
Real Madrid clears their wage bill a lot this summer, and will have more players off the book next summer. They are doing fine. They are looking to sell Isco, Jovic, Mariano Diaz, Odriozola, Ceballos and may be Odegaard this summer as well.
Edit
They are making room for Mbappe, Haaland and Pogba.

Come on you are not THAT bad either!
But can Mbappe and Haaland really take that chance? In Mbappe's case, he is leaving a very strong contender for the CL to go to a Madrid side that is hoping to get back there, nevermind winning La Liga. Those two would cost a fortune in wages, regardless of free transfer or a 'low' release clause. With the Spanish financial restrictions, they'd effectively be the Deontay Wilder of team football, they have a great punch and not much balance. PSG is very top heavy themselves, heavily invested into two forwards in Mbappe and Neymar, and now they're strengthening other areas but for about 3 years they just simply couldn't because the team was too top heavy with those two and their wages and they couldn't get proper players to fill out the rest of the squad across all positions. Madrid will be in a similar, if not worse situation than that with less financial flexibility.
Again, I think it would be incredibly stupid for either of those two to go to Madrid over somewhere in England at the moment if they were to make a move elsewhere.
He's 20, he has plenty of time. People said the same thing about Mbappe, but meanwhile he's been in a CL final and a semi-final and at 22 years of age is looking set to leave on a free by the age of 23. Haaland can do similar, even if it's a year later, but at least with either Bayern or PSG, he has as good a chance as anywhere else to go far in the Champion's league, which seems to be his obsession over league titles. Also, if City get Kane somehow, while the PL will be competitive, it will very likely become a one-horse race like the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 (if it isn't already given City's won 3 out of the last 4).
To Mino:
Things seem to be shaping up for us to have a clear run at him next summer and the prospect is absolutely mouthwatering

Raising my head above the parapet once again!
I think Haaland could end up at Bayern in a year or two. They’ll be looking to replace Lewandowski and it’s a regular enough occurrence for Bayern to take Dortmund’s best players, usually as their Contract expires.

I don't know 100% what it's going to happen, but just out of curiosity, if one or the two of them sign for Madrid, what explanation will you find the most plausible? That they are extremely stupid, or maybe you might concede there are other aspects you are completely bypassing in your analysis?
I'll stick my neck out. By the end of next summers transfer window both Mbappe and Haaland will be Real Madrid players.
Seems the most likely outcome to me. I know Haaland's ambitions to play in La Liga or the PL are well-publicised, so Bayern have been discounted from the conversation. But he must surely be their #1 target, with Lewa ageing out and Haaland such a perfect replacement. And when have Bayern ever missed out on a #1 target playing for a Bundesliga club?
That's as likely as Arsenal signing Messi
Strangely enough, I would love for that to happen. Imagine the ArseTV meltdowns when they lose to Everton at home with both Messi and Arteta looking mystified.
Regarding Haaland, I think he'll definitely stay unless someone throws stupendously silly money at them and only the oil sugar daddy teams can do that. That said, they seem to be paying big money somehwere else so event they cannot be that cheeky.
I'm extremely gobsmacked there's people here who think Haaland will end up at PSG or Bayern. In case people are forgetting he's exactly like Ronaldo/Zlatan a journeyman mentality once he leaves Dortmund it'll 100% be to a different league and even then Lewandowski is under contract till 2023 and Haaland's wages would cost more than his and he's one of all time Bundesliga greats it's too big a risk for a club as financially prudent as Bayern who rarely dance with Super Agents. Zahavi has been giving them massive headaches over the last year they're not going to dance with an even bigger Devil in Raiola
Haaland is 100% not going to consistently be in the Ballon D'or contention in the French League unless he's winning the CL year in year out and that's not a given so PSG is also ruled out. If people will talk about money we offered him £70000 a week more than BVB and he still said no his decision will based off sporting merit not just money
He's either going to Spain or the PL. Personally think he'll come to the PL first(Utd or City if they don't get Kane) for 3-5 years then Spain once they become stronger as the La Liga right now isn't a very attractive destination

I reckon we’re going to get him next summer. Currently thinking up a new annoying meme to camp in this thread with.
Early Haaland time.
Early is a play-on word on Erling.
Whatever.

Well, let's look at it, outside of Courtois, maybe Kroos and Casemiro, they don't really have any positions locked down by a quality player for the next 4-5 years, the duration of Mbappe or Haaland's next contract with them presumably. Why join them? Do you that an idea of what those other aspects would be? I'd say there are at least 5 teams that present a better chance at winning than Real Madrid currently. We don't even need to go into the financial disputes they are dealing with, alongside Barcelona, and Tebas. It's a very uncertain time in Spain right now, and if I'm Haaland/Mbappe, I'm not jumping at the uncertain for a team that's inferior to the one I'm currently playing for in Mbappe's case, especially if money is tight and they are competing with English clubs and PSG for the best talent. I do think it is pretty stupid at this moment to consider either Real Madrid or Barcelona (although the latter seems in better position for the future as far as their personnel goes).
See yourself out mate.
We'll go hard in for him that's for sure. Not sure it's the right decision given his agent but alas it's football and he's a superb generational talent (he really is).
Whether we get him is anyones guess.

Well, if something happens for instance at the end of August with Mbappe (which is a big if I admit), don't worry about that, because human beings normally have to find an explanation to things and we will have plenty of time to do so
Agreed.
Mbappe, Haaland and Pogba, with the £700-Million Stadium Redevelopment of Bernabeu, will be a start of a new era for Real Madrid.
Messi to PSG could help us land Haaland. It's a headache for Poch to have 4 divas that don't defend (Neymar, Mbappe, Di Maria, Messi), which would soften the blow of losing Mbappe.
Messi -> PSG
Lukaku -> Chelsea
Kane -> City
Mbappe -> RM
That leaves United, Liverpool and Juve.
I excluded Bayern, because Lewandosvki will still have a year left (while Ronnie will be out of contract).
Bild says PSG and Bayern aren't on his short list, but then again it's Bild.

Real Madrid don't have $$$ to get both.
Mbappe then stays at PSG because Madrid are falling apart. Now it could be Barca, Madrid, United and Possibly City if they do not get Kane. Nothing is a sure thing at the moment.
He's going to come back to his birthplace, well not Leeds but England.
If we win the Prem I think we will go all out to sign him as Edi's replacement

Scrap Barca. They can't afford him so soon.
Of course, I don't have a crystal ball, but the players mentioned are linked to those clubs, while Messi to PSG makes them a less likely candidate for Haaland.
Haaland
Neymar Messi Di Maria
Just doesn't work against good sides. Drop Haaland and it's still shaky for top level football.
Maybe true. But now Barcelona don't have a huge burning hole in the pockets anymore and they'll save a lot.
Griezmann says hi
First off, City won’t get Kane as they haven’t enough superstar fourth choice players to sell to cover the fee. They will probably get sanction by the PL for breaking FFP if there is any justice in the world which will take them out of any race for Haaland and others for at least one and hopefully two seasons. Lukaku may be at Chelsea so that would leave Liverpool and us if he wants to come to the PL. His Dad has stated that he (his dad) hates United which may not help. Only time will tell.
No they won't. They'll still be stuck with shit players on ridiculous contracts next year as well. Their rebuild will start 2 years from now.
I did a breakdown of how they could save the necessary 120m this summer in the "Barca on the brink" here.
They will be lucky if they can keep two out of De Jong/Pedri/Fati.
Next summer will be very modest for them, although it may not involve bosmans exclusively.
We could have Haaland Pogba Bruno Sancho in attack next year imagine it!
Crazy Summer for them, let's not forget Benzema and Alonso too who also went for sizeable fees.
Or, "we go boom here" little medley while also making a fecal reference.
Don't discount what Perez is capable of. The man does pull off incredible deals.
Think he's slightly overrated.
