Real Madrid President, Florentino Perez has come out to say that the club isn’t sweating over missing out on Erling Haaland. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the new Manchester City striker would’ve ended up on Real Madrid’s bench because they already have Karim Benzema at the club.
Perez insisted that they are happy to go into the next season with Ballon d’Or favourite, Karim Benzema.
His words, “Mbappe deal didn’t create any problem with Haaland deal, absolutely. We have Benzema, so it was impossible to have him with Karim.”
“We can’t sign Haaland to stay on the bench. Haaland is an amazing, fantastic player.”
“I don’t know if Erling Haaland has a release clause into his contract with Man City.”
“I’ve seen some stories about it but I don’t have anything confirmed. He’s a great player but we have Benzema. It wasn’t linked to Mbappe.”
