Haaland to Real Madrid? Bellingham Could Be the Key to a Future Bernabéu Move
Erling Haaland’s name has long been on Real Madrid’s radar. Despite his current contract with Manchester City, the Norwegian striker remains a top target for the Spanish giants, who continue to monitor his situation closely.
One factor that could tip the scales in Madrid’s favor is Jude Bellingham’s strong friendship with Haaland. The England international has previously called the striker one of his closest friends in football, and Real Madrid believes this bond could play a pivotal role in convincing him to make the switch to Spain.
Bellingham has already shown his influence off the pitch. His presence reportedly played a part in persuading Trent Alexander-Arnold to consider a future away from Liverpool, strengthening the belief within Madrid that the midfielder could help lure Haaland to the Bernabéu.
Florentino’s Dream: Haaland and Mbappé Together
According to Defensa Central, president Florentino Pérez remains ambitious about bringing both Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland to the Santiago Bernabéu. However, this would likely require player departures, with Vinicius Júnior and Rodrygo Goes frequently mentioned as potential sacrifices due to Madrid’s crowded forward line.
Although Haaland’s arrival is not currently imminent, Real Madrid’s interest is unwavering. Club executives see him as a “special” striker whose unique attributes would captivate fans at the Bernabéu, making him a perfect long-term centerpiece.
For now, Haaland remains a Manchester City star, but the combination of Madrid’s admiration, Bellingham’s friendship, and Florentino’s ambition keeps the door firmly open for a future transfer saga that could reshape European football.
