According to Marca newspaper, Real’s Board of Directors has met many times to discuss the possibility of recruiting Haaland over the past two years.
Haaland scored 85 goals in 88 matches for Dortmund and has always been on Real Madrid’s radar for the past year and a half.
However, the Royal team has never sent an official offer to Dortmund.
In addition, Real ignored Haaland because they wanted to focus on the Kylian Mbappe deal.

Real also believes that Benzema still maintains top form and is capable of shouldering the attack in the next two years.
The owner of the Bernabeu stadium is also worried about rifts in the dressing room if they recruit both Mbappe and Haaland, because Real currently owns a modest team and always works hard.
Finance is also part of the reason why Real did not ask to buy Haaland.
With Benzema playing very stably and possibly Mbappe from next season, Real does not need another superstar of Haaland’s caliber.
The contract that Man City gave to Haaland also far exceeded Real’s financial limits.
Ancelotti’s team also reviewed Haaland’s injuries over the past year.
