It’s His choice,You can force the Horse to the river but you can’t compel Him to drink it’: Manchester City star Phil Foden CONFIRMED his £55m man city Teammate have accept to join Real Madrid in January transfer despite trying so hard to convince him to stay at City
Steve Nicol, a pundit, suggests that Real Madrid should prioritize signing Erling Haaland over Kylian Mbappe. During an ESPN FC discussion about whether Real Madrid should pursue Manchester City’s star rather than World Cup winner Mbappe, Nicol voiced his opinion.
Nicol believes that Haaland, who has been described as “incredible” by Pep Guardiola, is widely recognized as the world’s best striker. The Norwegian striker currently leads the Premier League in goals, and last season, he scored an impressive 52 goals in 53 matches, helping his team secure the treble.
Nicol expressed excitement about the possibility of seeing Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland play together once more. He also suggested that Vinicius Junior could return to the left-wing position. Nicol expressed concerns that Mbappe’s arrival might disrupt team chemistry, describing him as having a “me, me, me” attitude. As a Real Madrid fan, he stated that he would prefer to see Haaland as the center-forward with Vini on the left and Bellingham in the midfield, emphasizing that he would have no objections to this arrangement.
However, Nicol also acknowledged that Haaland is unlikely to leave Manchester City, especially considering Real Madrid’s reported interest in Mbappe next summer. Haaland’s current contract with City runs until 2027, and with Pep Guardiola at the helm and the team’s strong performance, there may be little incentive for him to leave the Etihad Stadium for another European club, particularly if Guardiola extends his contract.
