Real Madrid wants to recruit a new striker next season, and is logically targeting Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. But the Merengues will have a hard time attracting the two stars together.
And here we go again for a new round. For the umpteenth time, AS is looking ahead to the Real Madrid transfer window for next summer, and you have undoubtedly understood which player will be affected. According to the Spanish daily, the Merengues want reinforcement in attack, where Karim Benzema has not really been replaced this summer.
There will be the arrival of the new Brazilian nugget, Endrick, scheduled for July 21. But the Palmeiras prodigy will need time to adapt, and Real want a renowned striker, ready to immediately support Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo. Two names stand out, without any surprise: Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.
Mbappé, no decision before next summer?
For the Bondynois, AS is cautious. In Madrid, no one has forgotten the about-face of the captain of the France team in 2021. Certainly, at present, Mbappé will be at the end of his contract next June. But nothing can be ruled out in this matter, and PSG still hopes to keep its jewel. Whatever happens, Mbappé will be far from free since the 2018 world champion will undoubtedly demand a colossal signing bonus to join Real. And AS slips in a little information: “In any case, the decision will not be made until the summer. And that’s all we know. » You will therefore have to be patient…
A clause for Haaland
For Haaland, Real Madrid intends to rely on a release clause which would appear in the contract of the serial Manchester City scorer. For 180 or 200 million euros, the Norwegian could be accessible next summer, to any club not playing in the Premier League. Real could therefore break the bank on Haaland, but AS is convinced of one thing: the club from the Spanish capital will never have the means to afford both cracks simultaneously.
