Admittedly, the defender recognised that he would sign both of them in an ideal world, but given the financial problems caused by COVID-19 and the high demands of PSG with Mbappe, he believes that the move for Haaland would make more sense.
For Ramos, it would be easier to sign Haaland
Sergio Ramos explained that if he were in charge of signing the players at Real Madrid, he would have preferred Erling Haaland instead of Kylian Mbappe. Admittedly, the defender recognised that he would sign both of them in an ideal world, but given the financial problems caused by COVID-19 and the high demands of PSG with Mbappe, he believes that the move for Haaland would make more sense. “I wish they both came, but if one of them came, it would be easier to sign Haaland,” Ramos told reporters. “With Kylian, the economic circumstances are more challenging. Haaland would not be bad because of his hunger for goals, his size, his speed. It would be easier for Haaland to reach an agreement.” Real Madrid have missed a goalscorer since Cristiano Ronaldo left the club in 2018, which is the departure that Ramos laments.
The defender would be happy to welcome Messi to Madrid
“Cristiano lost, and Los Blancos lost when he left the team. I wouldn’t have let him leave Madrid because he is one of the world’s best players. So he would have brought us closer to success,” said the defender. “This is a relationship that has to be for life, and it has to be a squad fusion. Ronaldo is a decisive player who helped us win.” Leo Messi is a free agent this summer; with his deal expiring on June 30 at Barcelona, Ramos could see him heading to Madrid? “I would be happy to welcome Messi to Real Madrid,” Ramos said with a smile. “I will give him my home for the first few weeks. We had to struggle Messi in his best years, so the fact of not having to face him would be good.
“He would help us win and achieve more trophies. It would be foolish to say otherwise.” On the other hand, can Ramos join Barcelona when his contract ends this summer? “No way”, the way stated the Real Madrid captain. “I have a special feeling for Joan Laporta because I like him. But in life, some things cannot be bought. Just like you will not see Xavi or Pique at Real Madrid.”
