The two players that Real Madrid prefers to sign rather than Erling Haaland

Real Madrid has already launched its casting for a new striker in 2024. The lack of goals in the team by its attackers, and the enormous “Bellingham dependency” that has existed, forces the club to go on the market soon and start looking for a new center forward who will contribute and help them achieve the objectives of this season. The merengue team has placed itself significantly among the candidates as a possible new destination for Haaland, but in Madrid, there would be other priorities.

Erling Haaland is perhaps the best center forward today. The Norwegian footballer has surprised everyone with his significant ability and a scoring rate that has rarely been seen before. However, Manchester City intend to protect him with a new contract to avoid any type of surprises. The reality is that after the most recent case with Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid does not want to start a new affair with another footballer.

According to Gol Digital, the first of those targeted by Real Madrid as an alternative to Haaland is Kylian Mbappé. His contract is very close to expiring and everything is aimed at him not renewing with PSG. Despite the Frenchmen's attempts, the striker plans to change course. He would arrive at the Bernabéu for free, although they will have to pay a good salary. However, a second option greatly seduces Real Madrid and excites Real Madrid fans.

Who is the forward that interests Real Madrid for 2024?

This is Julián Álvarez, who is a teammate of the Nordic striker. He has a secondary role, so despite his good performance and being protected by Guardiola, he is one step down compared to Haaland. In order to sign the Albiceleste star, Real Madrid considers that they can fix his arrival for less than 100 million euros. According to what was shared by 90min, the citizen club would be valuing the player at 80 million euros, a figure that is achievable for Real Madrid, but they will not let them go without first negotiating.
