Real Madrid leading race for Chelsea target

Real Madrid are allegedly in pole position to sign sought-after Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland.

The Norway international has been in great form this season, scoring 33 goals in 33 games for Dortmund, bringing about various top clubs wanting to sign him this summer.

Erling Haaland’s representative Mino Raiola and father Alf-Inge Haaland have effectively met with various representatives from various clubs, including Premier League sides Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool.

In any case, Spanish outlet Diario AS reports that Real Madrid are leading the competition to sign Haaland toward the end of the campaign, with it being recommended that the 20-year-old has consistently dreamed of playing for Los Blancos.

Additionally, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke are known to have recently had a positive relationship, making the possible deal easier to complete.

Since joining the German side halfway through last season, Haaland has scored 49 goals and added 12 assists in 51 games.
