Real Madrid were very interested in signing Erling Haaland in the summer 2017. The Norwegian striker, who was than at Molde, was ruled out at the time, as Los Blancos’ priority was getting Vinicius and Rodrygo.
Interestingly, in 2017, Chamartin could have been the Norwegian’s home. However, according to ‘Marca’, the prolific striker was snubbed at the time by Los Blancos’ priority of getting Vinicius and Rodrygo.
After signing Martin Odegaard two years prior, the Spanish giants looked at the possibility of signing a new nordic player. However, the number 9 went off to Austria before settling down in Germany.
From then on, Haaland’s future has never been close to Real Madrid. The board’s target has always been PSG man Kylian Mbappe.
