Real Madrid’s hunt for a forward is still on. The club has always recruited top players like Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham from big clubs in the past, but negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for Kylian Mbappe turned dormant. Consequently, the most successful club in Europe is now looking for his Premier League counterpart, as a back-up.

The transfer market went berserk in the last window. Even though a whole chunk of attention was taken by the Saudi Pro League involving many players, Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid was also intriguing to fans.

Real Madrid may consider Erling Haaland as an option

Seeing the remarkable form of Los Blancos this season with only one loss so far, one could assume that Karim Benzema leaving them did not affect them much. But the club is always on the lookout to sign a suitable forward. According to a top journalist, Carlos Carpio, Erling Haaland is definitely under their radar if they do not sign Mbappe.

Erling Haaland, one of the best young forwards in the world, has already proven himself with a European Golden Boot and UEFA Player of the Year. The reports suggest that the Norwegian’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, was seen watching Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League. However, Haaland’s contract runs until 2027, and City will try to keep the player.
