Meanwhile, Lothar Matthaus believes Erling Haaland could be a perfect fit alongside Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid. Elsewhere, Bayern Munich wants the Los Blancos star.
On that note, here’s a look at the most important Real Madrid transfer stories as of November 7, 2021.
Erling Haaland Likely to Fit Perfectly alongside Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid by Lothar Matthaus
German legend Lothar Matthaus believes that Erling Haaland will be better at Real Madrid than Bayern Munich. The Norwegian has been in great shape with Borussia Dortmund since joining in January 2020, scoring 70 goals from 69 appearances. Los Blancos and the Bavarians are among two of the many clubs vying for Haaland’s signature.
Real Madrid plans to strengthen its attack next year by tackling the Norwegian player as well as Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman has been the subject of aggressive bidding from Los Blancos this summer. But PSG turned down a massive offer from Madrid to buy their prized assets.
However, Mbappe’s current deal expires at the end of the current season, and he is expected to move to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer.
Speaking after Bayern Munich’s match against Freiburg, as reported by Marca, Matthaus said Haaland could join the Bavarians after the departure of Robert Lewandowski. The German also claimed that the Norwegian would be better than Mbappe at Real Madrid.
“Haaland could end up at Bayern (Munich) after that [Robert] Lewandowski. But not next to him. “Haaland would be better at Real Madrid with (Kylian) Mbappe,” said Mateus.
Bayern Munich is interested in Thibaut Courtois
According to The Hard Tackle via El Nacional, Bayern Munich are interested in Thibaut Courtois. The Bavarians are said to view the Real Madrid goalkeeper as Manuel Neuer’s successor. The Belgian has appeared 145 times for Los Blancos since joining them in 2018, keeping 57 clean sheets in his matches.
Bayern Munich was impressed by Courtois’ appearance at the Santiago Bernabeu, and wants to take him to the Allianz Arena. However, their efforts are unlikely to pay off, as Courtois is happy at Real Madrid.
