Haaland’s a great player, admits Anceloti, Real Madrid coach
Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has said Borussia Dortmund’s star, Erling Haaland’ is a great player, avoiding being dragged to any controversy ovet the player’s move to Manchester City.
Man City had on Tuesday announced that they had agreed to a deal with Dortmund for Haaland, with Real Madrid rumoured to have missed out on signing the 21-year-old.

The Italian said: “Ugh, I don’t really like to talk about this.
“He’s a great player, City is a great club. I’m sticking with my squad, which has led me to enjoy another Champions League final.”
