Real Madrid takes bold stance by banning fans from printing Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland on their shirts at the club shop.

Real Madrid will not comply with any request to have Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland printed on shirts in their official club shop, a report says.

Supporters purchasing shirts can have Madrid players’ names and numbers printed on the back and can make custom requests, but SER Deportivos reports that anyone asking for Mbappe or Haaland to be printed on them will be rejected. The radio station verified the claim with two supporters, who asked to have the Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City stars’ names on a shirt, with staff saying they could not fulfill the request because the pair don’t play for Madrid and image rights issues prevent them from adding player names from other clubs.

Madrid fans are eager to have Mbappe and Haaland on their shirts as the Spanish giants have been dreaming of signing one of the superstar forwards in recent transfer windows. With Haaland shining at City, the world, European and English champions are unlikely to sell him any time soon, but Mbappe could leave PSG for free at the end of the season.

It was reported this month that Madrid are prepared to make a final offer to sign France international Mbappe in January but he will only have until the 15th of the month to agree to the deal. Otherwise, the Santiago Bernabeu will pursue Norway hero Haaland.

Madrid could make an attempt to bring Mbappe to the Spanish capital next month while they are also said to be looking to sign a centre-back in the January transfer window, with Raphael Varane linked with a return to the club from Manchester United.
