Kylian Mbappe might not be a top priority for Real Madrid anymore.
Kylian Mbappe might not be a top priority for Real Madrid anymore.

Kylian Mbappe`s contract with PSG ends this summer, and many wonder what the French striker will do next. Many suggest he stay at PSG by signing another contract extension. He announced a contract extension with PSG in 2022, and the player might want to leave the club for free and become a free agent.

Real Madrid have been chasing the French forward for many years and were close to getting him in 2022. After that failed attempt, Los Blancos waited on Mbappe's decision to leave for free or stay in Paris. It has been reported that Real Madrid wants to know an answer as quickly as January 15th.

Mbappe and his team did not appreciate the rushed ultimatum the Spanish giants gave him. It is likely that the decision of Mbappe will be delayed once again; Real Madrid doesn't want to wait any longer and is looking for other options. Names like Victor Osimhen have been linked to the club, but Spanish media have linked Erling Haaland to the Bernabeu.

Erling Haaland is a second option for Real Madrid this summer

Diario AS reports that Erling Haaland is the "Plan B" of Real Madrid in case Mbappe doesn't sign for the Spanish giants. Real Madrid would like to activate a release clause Haaland has with Manchester City, which Los Blancos believe to be below 200 million euros.

Real Madrid fans might be struggling to choose between the two world-class players, but Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is willing to bring one of these players to the Spanish capital this summer. The Haaland signing instead of Mbappe could be beneficial to the team.

Haaland is a pure striker who can fill in the number 9 position that Karim Benzema has left. Madrid currently doesn't play with one striker and instead has played both Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo together centrally. The two Brazilians are natural wingers who like to take on defenders before entering the box.

It will be interesting to see what Florentino Perez would like to do this summer to improve the squad for the upcoming season. Whether it is Mbappe or Haaland, Real Madrid is getting stronger yearly with top-quality signings. Los Blancos looks to dominate Spain and Europe for many years.
