‘All offers will be beaten’: Manchester City set to break the bank for Real Madrid target
Real Madrid plan for a massive summer ahead as the club offices work tirelessly to seal down transfer targets. The coming June will see the La Liga leaders chase multiple high-profile signings to reinforce the overall squad.
Of the names Los Blancos are targetting, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland are inarguably the headliners. While the former’s move to Real Madrid is close to being sealed, the same cannot be said about the Norwegian international’s status.
As it stands, three clubs compete for Haaland’s signing. Namely, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Real Madrid. As it stands, the player has not decided on his next club, but Ancelotti’s side are said to be in a strong position.
According to reports from SPORT, Pep Guardiola’s side have communicated to Haaland’s representatives that they will match any financial demand put forth to ensure his arrival in Manchester. Moreover, they promise a champion team that is capable of dominating Europe in the coming years.
Real Madrid, too offer a robust economic proposal on the table. Yet, the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappe could bring second thoughts to Haaland’s mind, who wanted to be the centre of attraction at his new club.
If the 12-time Champions League winners pull off the Borussia Dortmund star’s signing, they will boast of the most fearsome front three come June. The options of having the likes of Mbappe, Haaland, Vinicius Jr, and not to forget Karim Benzema available is a problem many managers would like to have.
The player is expected to make a decision regarding his future in the next month. Needless to say, Florentino Perez will do everything in his control to ensure the operation is successful.
There is no secret that Real Madrid might consider a move for a new striker in the coming summer. With Karim Benzema slowly nearing the end of his career, the club are looking for a viable alternative ahead of the new season.
Carlo Ancelotti has been left impressed by the performances of Rodrygo in the centre forward position. But the club could still use the services of a more recognised option in the number nine position.
The Spanish giants are reportedly assessing La Liga for a potential low-cost option. But they are also open to looking through in other leagues, in their bid to add more depth in the attacking department.
To that end, Fabrizio Romano claims Real Madrid are eyeing a swoop for Roberto Firmino. The Liverpool star has become the latest player to be shortlisted by Los Blancos, with his current contract at Liverpool expiring at the end of the season.
Formerly of TSG Hoffenheim, Firmino has a stellar track record of performing in Europe. He has scored 110 goals in 361 competitive matches during his time at Liverpool, winning the Premier League and the Champions League title.
A centre forward by trade, Roberto is known for his tactical flexibility and the ability to shift into wider areas to build up the player.
It makes him an appealing target for Real Madrid, who would prefer a versatile striker in their ranks that can not only provide cover for Benzema but also the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.
Real Madrid, though, are yet to hold any discussions with Roberto Firmino just yet. He has just been added to the list of targets and one would expect the Spanish giants to make a move once the season is over and the player becomes a free agent.
