Real Madrid consistently aims for excellence, which requires ongoing effort and a commitment to securing top-tier talent for the first team. Last summer, the club achieved a significant milestone by signing French star Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, fulfilling a long-standing goal of president Florentino Perez.Real Madrid legend Guti believes the club should now pursue Manchester City star Erling Haaland. Haaland is excelling in the Premier League and is in strong contention for the top scorer title for the third consecutive season.
In comments to the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Guti noted, “Mbappe started well in the European Super Cup, but the draws in La Liga have created some unrest.” He added, “With Mbappe on board, he’ll need time to adapt, but he’ll improve day by day.” Guti expressed hope that signing Haaland will be Real Madrid’s next target.
Guti concluded by saying, “If I were in a position at Real Madrid, I would sign the Norwegian player immediately without hesitation.”
At 24 years old, Haaland excels as a center forward, with his contract at Manchester City running until June 2027. Since joining City, he has played 103 matches across all competitions, scoring 99 goals and providing 14 assists.Real Madrid’s ambitions remain high, particularly following the successful signing of Kylian Mbappé. However, former Real Madrid legend Guti believes that the club should now focus on adding another elite player to their squad—Erling Haaland. In an interview with *Mundo Deportivo*, Guti emphasized that Haaland would be a perfect addition to bolster Real Madrid’s attacking power, especially alongside Mbappé.
Guti acknowledged that Mbappé is still adjusting to the team but expects him to improve as the season progresses. He stated that Haaland, with his impressive track record, would bring additional firepower. The Norwegian striker, who is excelling at Manchester City, has 99 goals in 103 appearances and has a contract until June 2027. Guti urged Real Madrid to pursue Haaland immediately, seeing him as a key player to sustain the club’s dominance in European football.
A potential move for Haaland would further enhance Real Madrid’s attack and create a dream pairing with Mbappé. However, prying Haaland away from Manchester City, where he is thriving, may prove to be a difficult task for Florentino Pérez and the Madrid hierarchy.
