Real Madrid target Erling Haaland and his agent Mino Raiola are currently in disagreement over the Norwegian's next destination, according to The Express. The Borussia Dortmund striker is expected to leave the Bundesliga club next summer on a cut-price deal. Top clubs around Europe are vying for his services and Los Blancos are hoping to win that race.

The La Liga giants are planning to assemble a star-studded lineup next season. Real Madrid have Haaland on their wish list and it now appears that the player also has his heart set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

According to the report, the Norwegian wants to join Los Blancos next summer. However, his agent prefers a move to the Camp Nou.

Mino Raiola wants Haaland to join Barcelona and become the heir to Lionel Messi. It is not clear whether the Catalans can afford the move. However, Blaugrana might not have the opportunity to secure the services of the Norwegian, because he prefers a move to Real Madrid instead.

Carlo Ancelotti has revealed Eden Hazard is nursing a minor knee issue. The Italian has also claimed it is hard for the Belgian to play consecutive games for Real Madrid due to his injury history.

"He didn't play in the last match as he had a minor knee issue, one that also bothered him in [Friday's] training session. We'll see with Hazard, but he has improved in general," said Ancelotti.
"Yet, we must to be careful with him because of past injuries. To play him in two matches in a row could be difficult. He's not yet at the level we all want, but we're all confident that he'll get back to his best," said Ancelotti.
