According to AS, Erling Haaland can be a backup plan when Real Madrid misses Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe has come close to joining Real Madrid in the past. At this time, although the French striker has not finalized his future, the Spanish giants still want to bring him to Santiago Bernabeu again.
The France international is out of contract with PSG in the summer of 2024, with the possibility that he could sign a 12-month extension with the club. But if he fails to do so by the end of this year, Mbappe will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January 1, 2024.
Spanish newspaper AS reported that Real Madrid will make a transfer move with Mbappe. However, they only gave Mbappe until January 15 to make a decision.
If Mappe again refuses, they will turn their attention to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. In Spain, many believe that Haaland would be keen to make this move, as well as reunite his former Borussia Dortmund teammate Jude Bellingham.
The Norwegian player owns a house in Spain and comes here often. This helps Real Madrid believe that they can lure Haland away from the Premier League.
