Stoichkov believes that Cruyff would sign Mbappe over Haaland
The ex-Barca ace, Hristo Stoichkov remarked that Erling Haaland would be more useful than Kylian Mbappe playing with the Spanish giants, but he then said that the fabulous Johan Cruyff would have chosen a system that includes the French player.
In the last years, both Haaland and Mbappe have grown to become the top players of the game, while many believe that they will be the heir apparent to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Practically, each and every team would prefer to sign the duo, Barcelona included, but Stoichkov announces that he believes the difference between these two is a matter of opinion more than anything else.
"You need a left-back because Alba is going to be killed, and I would sign Alaba because he can play you in three different positions and very well in all three. And then a Haaland or an Mbappe.
“I think that with Barcelona's system, Haaland can be more effective. But if the coach were Cruyff, I already can tell you that I would sign Mbappe first. He would play without a number nine and he would play with [Ousmane] Dembele and Mbappe and [Lionel] Messi organizing."
He continued.
