Former AC Milan and Napoli goalkeeper Giovanni Galli suggests that if Erling Haaland moves to Real Madrid, Manchester City should consider replacing him with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
Since joining Man City from Borussia Dortmund, Haaland has been in exceptional form, scoring 52 goals in 53 matches in his first season and contributing 19 goals in 23 matches despite battling injuries.
There are rumors that Haaland has his sights set on a future move to Real Madrid, with a reported €200 million release clause in his contract at Man City.
Despite Haaland’s impressive goal-scoring abilities, Galli believes that Vlahovic could be a worthy replacement for him. He emphasized Vlahovic’s potential and pointed out that Juventus does not provide as many attacking opportunities as Man City does.
“Maybe it may seem like a provocation to you, but for me it isn’t that much: if I were Guardiola and they told me ‘you have to make the exchange between Vlahović and Haaland’ I would do it easily,” Galli told Tuttosport.
“Dušan has nothing to envy the Norwegian. At Juve, he must take advantage of the few opportunities that come his way; because the Bianconeri are not a team that doesn’t grind out play like City who have 10 chances per game.”
“Yet Vlahović already has 12 goals despite everything. I’d like to see him in a more attacking team. If he were at Manchester City, he would also score 50 goals a season like Haaland. I’m sure.”
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, responded to the rumors about Haaland’s future, stating that the decision ultimately lies with the player and the club.
Guardiola expressed his desire to keep Haaland at the club for a long time, emphasizing the impact the player has had since joining.
However, Guardiola also acknowledged that he does not have information about Haaland’s future intentions. So, while he hopes Haaland will stay, he understands that the final decision is up to the player and the club.
