Kylian Mbappé is close to joining Real Madrid this summer but Haaland could move to Barca as well.
Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid seems set to happen this summer as the French star has reportedly told PSG and his teammates that he will leave the French club at the end of the season. Real Madrid have reportedly been negotiating with Mbappé for a deal they can agree with, and a contract signing is what’s left to confirm the move. While Real Madrid is close to signing this superstar of football, FC Barcelona does not want to be left behind as they held talks to sign the other football superstar, Erling Haaland.
Mbappé is reportedly close to agreeing on a deal with Real Madrid, as nothing has been signed yet. Yesterday, Mbappé had dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron and the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Mbappé’s mother, Fayza, came to Madrid in the last few days to find a house, according to Relevo. The move of Mbappé to Real Madrid looks 99% done, but that made FC Barcelona react by having talks to bring in Erling Haaland.
Jijantes and Gerard Romero report that Deco, Barça’s sporting director, met today with Rafaela Pimenta and Maxwell, the agent of Haaland, among many others. Haaland’s future was one of the topics that were discussed at the meeting, and Laporta dreams of bringing the Norwegian striker to the club. The departure of two Barça players that would help the club to sign Haaland was discussed in the meeting between Deco and Haaland’s agents.

Spanish streamer and journalist Gerard Romero spoke about what this meeting between Deco and Haaland’s agents means. Romero said, “I want to make it very clear that we are not saying that Barça is going to sign Haaland; we are simply stating that this meeting has taken place, and we also confirm that Haaland to Barça is a topic that has been discussed. Many players were discussed in the three-hour-long meeting, but the main topic was Haaland. Is it a difficult deal? Yes. Impossible? No.”
