Real Madrid 'make Erling Braut Haaland top target'

Real Madrid 'make Haaland top target'

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has reportedly identified Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland as a top transfer target.

Despite only moving to the Westfalenstadion in January, Haaland has already scored 12 goals from 11 appearances in all competitions.

While Dortmund are said to accept that they will eventually cash in on the Norway international, they ideally want to keep the 19-year-old for at least a full season.

However, according to Marca, Real intend to make an approach for Haaland during the next transfer window.

After already losing faith in Luka Jovic, the report suggests that Zidane wants to bring in a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema as soon as possible.

Although Haaland is said to have a £63m release clause, it does not come into effect until the end of the next campaign.
