Real Madrid are actively preparing their squad for the 2024-25 season. They have reportedly set their sights on Kylian Mbappe, the 25-year-old, whose contract with PSG expires in June, could lead to a possibility of discussing a move with other clubs. Real Madrid have allegedly set an unofficial deadline for Mbappe on January 15 and he must be clear about his future or risk missing out on a trip to the Bernabeu. On the other hand, Manchester City's Erling Haaland has also become the focus of transfer stories. The 23-year-old striker broke the Premier League record for goals last season. Real Madrid are expected to bring him in and keep him at a 40-50 goal rate per year. Although he is under contract with Manchester City until 2027, his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has often expressed a willingness to explore transfers in the coming years.
In football, there is no team at the top of the game like Real Madrid. Indeed, the La Liga giants have received encouraging news about Haaland and his future. It is reported that the termination clause included in his contract is more reasonable for foreign clubs. Premier League teams will have to pay around €200 million, but for clubs such as Real Madrid, the figure is closer to €100 million. Vinicius is one of Real Madrid's brightest stars and there is no doubt that Mbappe is in the same best position as the Brazilian. Ancelotti reportedly believes there is a system that allows both sides to adapt, but it is inconceivable that either side should defeat the other. Mbappe is not going to work as a number nine, and of course, it will be an upgrade for Joselu.
In this sense, Real Madrid need a tall striker who can play in the center forward position, and Haaland is undoubtedly the best candidate. Real Madrid want to further improve their squad by bringing in a superstar, which certainly suits the Frenchman. The club envisages the revamped Bernabeu to debut in July 2024, with at least one superstar in attendance. But even so, it poses a problem: the Manchester City star may be a world-class star, but his popularity has not yet been maximized. This is even more true when you compare him to Mbappe, who has left the Norwegian international behind in business. To complicate matters further, Real Madrid are on the verge of acquiring Endrick. The Palmeiras player will join Real Madrid when he turns 18 in the summer. Will joining Paris Saint-Germain limit Haaland's development?
Maybe it's too early for the young Norwegian starNo matter how you look at it, Mbappe seems to make more sense than Haaland, although they may have some trouble in their position.
