After rejecting Mbappe, what Real Madrid would be willing to pay for Haaland

Kylian Mbappe's future at PSG is still in question. The French footballer has significantly positioned himself as one of those called to lead this new era. But the reality is that the player must leave PSG to really start to be the new best in the world. The Frenchman's contract ends in 2024, and at the moment there is nothing certain regarding a renewal. However, his most likely destination, Real Madrid, released a statement denying any type of negotiation with the player.

The Madrid club has been blunt, and it seems that the club's patience with Mbappe has come to an end. The team does not want to continue waiting and prefers to work on other objectives. Of course, at the moment it is neither ethical nor permitted to negotiate with a footballer who belongs to another club, at a time when the transfer market is not open. Mbappe seems like he would have to start looking for another possible club.

Real Madrid strives to convey a unified message regarding the transfer market: there are no operations in progress, nor conversations of any kind. All of that remains for next summer, for when the season is over or, at least, when it is in its final stretch. Ancelotti himself joked about it this week when asked if Madrid is considering going to the winter market: “I don't think we will do anything in January, we won't do anything. In summer, I hope!

Will Real Madrid go for Haaland?

According to AS, Madrid's interest in Haaland has increased in recent hours, and they will try to go after him in case the Mbappé project falls apart. Speculation increases after Rafaela Pimenta, Haaland's agent, was seen in Madrid against Braga last Wednesday, recalling that Pimenta did not have any represented players on the field. A signing like Haaland's would represent an investment of more than 200 million euros this season.
