Real Madrid has been actively pursuing French sensation Kylian Mbappe for the past two years. The club is still on the lookout to sign the PSG star, but they seem to have increased their options. Recent reports suggest that they have also opened the possibility of signing the Norwegian striker in 2024.

Real Madrid’s priority remains Mbappe, but their interest in Erling Haaland indicates a backup plan if they fail to secure the services of the French forward. Interestingly, the Norwegian striker himself has reportedly told those closest to him that he desires to play for the Spanish giants.

This development not only raises eyebrows but also presents a major challenge for Pep Guardiola. Haaland has proven to be an invaluable asset to Manchester City, delivering consistent goal-scoring performances and playing a pivotal role in their treble-winning campaign.
