Erling Haaland is in the fortunate position of being able to make his own decisions. Manchester City, Real Madrid, and just about everyone else are interested in signing the Borussia Dortmund star right now, with Barcelona coming in third in the race to sign him this summer.
The Catalans will do all in their power to persuade the 21-year-old to join them at Camp Nou, and they are desperate to avoid having both Haaland and Kylian Mbappe join Real Madrid.
Haaland wants to be a part of football history, and he believes his next move should be to a team that would allow him to compete for the Ballon d'Or legitimately. He's made it known to Mino that it's become an obsession of his.
Raiola is critical to Haaland's future.
For the past year, Raiola and the player's father have been touring European clubs' training grounds, inquiring about the role he'd play at each, and learning more about each of the continent's projects. Manchester City and Real Madrid have been given first attention so far.
Some of the meetings went unnoticed, but the one with Joan Laporta caused a sensation, as Barcelona fans were ecstatic when the player's representatives arrived in Catalonia for negotiations last year. Haaland wants to be a key player wherever he goes, and he doesn't mind sharing the attack with another big name. He understands that collaborating with Mbappe at Real Madrid might help him win the Ballon d'Or.
Real Madrid believes his deal is possible, despite their present focus on Mbappe and preventing him from re-signing with Paris Saint-Germain.
