However, with Haaland being 13 years younger than the great Argentine maestro, he is surely a wiser investment. Already one of the elite finishers in Europe, a transfer tussle of epic proportions could soon be on our hands. But who needs him the most? Where would he fit in best?<\/p>\n<p>The dire financial situations of Real Madrid and Barcelona, the obvious destinations otherwise, potentially rules them out. Juventus, meanwhile, have the financial albatross that is Ronaldo\u2019s contract while Bayern Munich have never traditionally spent as much as their rivals at the top of the game. As such it seems that English clubs could be the only ones wealthy enough to fund a transfer for Erling Haaland this summer. So, where could he end up?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Who could seal a transfer for Erling Haaland this summer?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chelsea <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even as the COVID-19 pandemic ripped through footballing finances, Chelsea\u2019s spending showed no signs of slowing down, so it seems safe to assume they\u2019ll be ready to pounce should Haaland become available for a transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their flurry of attacking signings made over the course of last summer, Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side are lacking a striker. Timo Werner, for all his positives, hasn\u2019t looked convincing in front of goal and Olivier Giroud is still caught in the strange state of limbo where he\u2019s both vitally important and somewhat disposable in equal measure.<\/p>\n<p>Still, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/football\/14220390\/chelsea-erling-haaland-no-chance-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haaland is reported to have said Chelsea aren\u2019t an elite club<\/a> and that he doesn\u2019t see himself there, so perhaps this is a target that evades Roman Abramovich. Do they need him? Yes. Will they get him? Doubtful at this stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Chances: 4\/10 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester United<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With compatriot Ole Gunnar Solsjaer in charge at Old Trafford and United potentially losing Edinson Cavani this summer, links between the two only seem natural.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s hard to see what United can offer a developing star other huge clubs can\u2019t. To put things into perspective, Haaland was only thirteen the last time they won the Premier League and they have spent most of his professional career playing outside of the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>Having messed up a potential deal for him before by reportedly being late to a transfer meeting and also being the club whose captain ended his father\u2019s career prematurely, United may not be the most attractive option right now.<\/p>\n<p>They need him more than he needs them.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Chances: 5\/10 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester City <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On paper, Manchester City look like the ideal option for Haaland.<\/p>\n<p>A team he grew up supporting while this father played for the club (albeit in its previous incarnation) who have the resources to challenge for titles for years to come, the fact that Pep Guardiola\u2019s side <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/city-aguero-haaland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">need to replace the legendary Sergio Aguero<\/a> only makes a deal seem more perfect.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting, however, that City do tend to struggle when it comes to winning transfer auctions. The likes of Frenkie De Jong, Alexis Sanchez, Jorginho and Harry Maguire have all gone elsewhere, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if they can finally land an in-demand target.<\/p>\n<p>If they can, the rest of Europe should be fearful.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Chances: 7\/10 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You could earn up to \u00a3100 (or currency equivalent) in bonus funds by joining Colossus with our New Player Bonus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog_unpaid_content&amp;utm_campaign=blog_newplayerbonus\">Click here to join the action.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe emerging as the heirs to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, they could be the two most in demand transfer targets in the world in the coming years.
