In recent years, Erling Haaland has been linked with the big two in La Liga, and that has continued despite him joining Manchester City in the summer of 2022. The 23-year-old is considered one of the best strikers in world football, and there is no doubt that he will improve Real's performance. Madrid or Barcelona.
If Haaland does swap Manchester for Spain in the coming years, something Manchester City would be very keen to avoid, fellow international Alexander Sorloth told Relevo he believes Haaland will have little trouble adapting to Spanish football, although he will. Need help from his teammates.
“I don't think there's a big difference between some leagues and others today. I think that's a matter for the media, and believe me, I've been to England, Germany, Spain… and it's not as different as people say. So of course Haaland will adapt to Spain.
“When you are a great player like Haaland, you have to adapt to the team, but the team has to adapt to you. If you remember (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, he came to Spain, tried to adapt to Barcelona, but Barcelona had to adapt to him in many ways.” Aspects. With Haaland it will be like that too. Let's say he comes here to join a team… He will have to adapt, yes, but the team he goes to will have to adapt to him because his qualities mean the team has to adapt to him.
There is certainly merit to Sorloth's comments, as Ibrahimovic arrived at Barcelona in 2009 as one of the best strikers in the world, but struggled to adapt to the style of play – and part of that could have been Pep Guardiola not changing radically to suit the Swede. For now at least, Haaland doesn't need to worry about that, as he looks set to stay at Manchester City for a while yet.
