Erling Haaland’s agent labels Real Madrid ‘dreamland’, Liverpool lead Mason Mount chase – Paper Round

Haaland lining up future move?

Erling Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta has cast doubts over the striker’s long-term future at Manchester City. The super agent discussed the lure of Real Madrid at a talk in London on Thursday, describing the Spanish club as a “dreamland for the players”. Haaland was linked with Real Madrid before eventually joining Manchester City in the summer of 2022.

“She added: ‘In my agency we try to make a plan. We have to make a plan. We need to have a goal. Maybe we won’t achieve it but if don’t know where we’re going for sure we don’t get there.’

Liverpool’s top targets revealed

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is hoping to complete a rebuild in central midfield this summer and is targeting a number of top stars. The Reds are leading the race to sign Mason Mount, who is yet to extend his Chelsea contract. Mount’s current deal is set to expire in 2024, so the Blues may decide to cash in on the England international this summer if the two parties fail to come to an agreement.

“Liverpool are also in the running for Jude Bellingham along with several other top European clubs, with the Borussia Dortmund star expected to be on the market at the end of the season.

“Similarly, the Reds are also admirers of Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes who has impressed at Molineux since his £38m move.”

Spurs want latest wonderkid

Tottenham Hotspur are interesting in pursuing a summer move for Bristol City wonderkid Alex Scott, according to the Sun. The 19-year-old impressed for Bristol City’s FA Cup fifth-round defeat against Premier League champions Manchester City this week, effectively announcing his name on the big stage.

“Tottenham have a history of signing young British talent and have been following the progress of £25milion-rated Scott for some time.”

Cooper is a wanted man

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper is wanted by a number of Premier League clubs that are considering managerial changes at the end of the current campaign. The 43-year-old is very highly-rated within England’s top flight, but will come at a price after he recently signed a contract extension with Forest.

“There is doubt over the head coach’s position at Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham, Southampton and Leeds heading into the end of the season. Brighton may also be on the look out for a new boss amid growing interest in their manager Roberto De Zerbi.

“Cooper is currently under consideration for at least two clubs heading into the summer.”
