It is doubtful there will be a warmer name in the transfer window this summer from Marling Holland. Barcelona, Manchester City and Real Madrid are just some of the teams that are following in the footsteps of the Norwegian bomber, and the “S” reported this morning (Friday) that the Spanish champions are in the best position to absorb him.
According to the report, although the original plan was for the Norwegian to leave Borussia Dortmund only in the summer of 2022, this may happen as early as this year and the transfer fee may be around 110 million euros. One of the main reasons for this, it is argued, is the interest of his agent Mino Raiola in strengthening ties with Real Madrid, and a good way to do so is of course to transfer one of his biggest clients to it. At the same time, ESPN claims that the price tag that Dortmund will set for its diamond will be 180 million euros.
Also on the part of the club, despite reports of Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to return after three years at Juventus, Madrid prefer to think about the coming years and invest the high sums in a player with a long and promising career ahead of him. In addition, the Spanish champions are also building on Martin Edgor, who is on loan at Arsenal and whom they refuse to sell. In his recent story, Holland has already sparked speculation about a Norwegian collaboration at the Santiago Bernabeu when he wrote in Spanish: “Hermano” (brother).
Along with strengthening the staff, it seems that the club is also working on upgrading the professional management avenue. In the last day, quite a few reports have been published in France and Spain that the Spanish capital may include Luis Campus, who has built a reputation in recent years as one of the top professional managers on the continent. The 56-year-old Portuguese was in charge of the impressive Monaco project under which players like Killian Ambape, Bernardo Silva and Fabigno have developed, and in recent years has worked at Lille, which he left in December but enjoys a great season.
In addition, Campus knows Real Madrid well, having worked alongside Jose Mourinho as a scout and analyst for the team in the 2012/13 season, and according to “Marca” he still has members left in the club from the Spanish capital. Will we soon see his return to a more senior position?
