Real Madrid on two Manchester City stars

On the upcoming transfer windows, Real Madrid could try a double blow on the side of Manchester City by recruiting Erling Haaland and Joao Cancelo.

And if a page has been turned over the last few years with the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Sergio Ramos, Casemiro, Isco or even Marcelo, the future already seems to be assured with the arrivals of promising young people who have already taken a place. important in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

Haaland, as a matter of course
