Erling Haaland is made for bigger club and he can soon join Real Madrid
That’s the view of the Borussia Dortmund striker’s former coach Stanislav Macek, who believes he is destined for a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Haaland opted to join Dortmund over Manchester United in January and has been a huge hit in the Bundesliga, banging in 12 goals in 12 appearances in all competitions for his new club.
He is not expected to stay in Germany for long, with some reports claiming he could leave Dortmund as early as this summer.
And Macek, who spent time working with the Norwegian striker at Red Bull Salzburg is convinced that he will be on his way to a ‘bigger club’ in no time.
‘He is a modern [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic,’ Macek told AS. ‘I would say he is much better in his movement, quicker. He has a great mentality in how to face games and his profession.
‘I think that he has made a big move. He is one of the best in Germany.
‘If he keeps progressing like he is, for sure, we will see him at a bigger club again in no time such as Madrid.
‘The best have always played at Madrid and Haaland is one of them. He is a footballer made for Madrid without a doubt.’
Haaland, however, claims to have no plans to leave Dortmund this summer.
