Real Madrid Were Right Not To Sign Haaland – Sneijder

Real Madrid were right not to sign Erling Haaland, Wesley Sneijder has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though he is a big fan of Haaland, he knows the Norwegian striker is the wrong fit for a team that now has Kylian Mbappe leading the line.

Wesley added that Mbappe is the better purchase, and he is finally ready to become a real striker.

His words, “I think Real Madrid did a great job by not signing Haaland. There was a moment where they still believed in putting Mbappe down the left with Haaland as the striker but I think the way now is much better because for me Mbappe has become a real striker.

The way he takes up positions as a striker, it’s very unique, and I believe he’s much better now as a striker than from the left side so it doesn’t make sense to sign Haaland anymore. That’s good news for Man City!”

On the next set of players who will ddominate after Messi and Ronaldo, “Once Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo retire then people will start talking more about Mbappe, Vinicius, Lamine Yamal like how we talk about Ronaldo and Messi now. It’s all about generations. When Diego Maradona quit, other players came through.

In 100 years, people won’t talk about Mbappe, Vinicius or Yamal the same. There will be a new generation who has replaced them but when they retire, we will start talking about Mbappe, Yamal and Vinicius the same way we talk about Ronaldo and Messi.”

WOW.

Erling Braut Haaland is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester City and the Norway national team.

Haaland holds the record for the most goals scored by a player in a single Premier League season, with 36.

Along with playing football from an early age, Haaland took part in various other sports as a child, including handball, golf, and track and field.
