Real Madrid and Barcelona have remained number one contenders to secure the services of Erling Haaland. However, in the race for the Norwegian signature, players of both clubs are doing all they can to make sure he moves to their club.

It is no news that Kylian Mbappe has agreed on a pre-contract deal with real Madrid. As reports suggests he could make as much as 50 Million euros a year.

The signature of Mbappe by Real Madrid has become a major concern at the Barcelona camp. And the players would not want Los Blancos to get a hold of the Norwegian as well.

Gerard Pique's line of thoughts

Gerard Pique's line of reasoning is pretty simple. It is widely believed that both parties (Mbappe and Haaland) have their eyes on clinching the Balon d’Or award.

Hence pique decides to use that desire as he comes up with a transfer option for Erling Haaland.

Pique's option

The Barcelona defender insisted that if Haaland is desperately in need of clinching an award just like the Balon d’Or then it is better to move to a team were a strong contender is not in the midst.

Not only would it help Haaland be independent, it would also create healthy competition for both parties.

Summary

It is understood that Haaland is poised to exit Dortmund this summer, However, with no destination revealed yet, there is much that could be on the cards during the summer transfer window.
