REAL MADRID have been told that it is "now or never" if they want to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund by one of their legends.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old striker is wanted by a host of Europe\u2019s biggest clubs as speculation continues to mount over his future.<\/p>\n
The sharpshooter has scored an unbelievable 80 goals in 81 games for the Bundesliga side giants, who are desperate to retain his services.<\/p>\n
Haaland\u2019s deal at Dortmund stipulates it will cost interested clubs a knockdown \u00a364million to land him this summer.<\/p>\n
However, Madrid have allegedly admitted defeat in the chase for him and have instead prioritised a swoop for Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s Kylian Mbappe, who becomes a free agent in June.<\/p>\n
Now Madrid\u2019s former midfielder Guti believes there is only a small window of opportunity for his old employers to sign Haaland.<\/p>\n

Guti told El Chiringuito: \u201cMbappe inspires enthusiasm among all of us, not just at Real Madrid. It's very important for LaLiga that he comes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if Haaland can come, all the better. If they don't sign Haaland now, they will never sign him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause then he'll go to another big club and it will be difficult to sign him.\u201d<\/p>\n
And Guti says that the arrival of Haaland would help Madrid to manage the minutes of iconic veteran forward Karim Benzema.<\/p>\n
