Real Madrid dreams of Mbappé and Haaland, but the budget may not follow.
Real Madrid are one of the richest clubs in the world, but they could face a financial challenge if they want to sign two of the world’s best players this summer.
For several years, the Madrid club has shown keen interest in Kylian Mbappé, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in June. At the same time, he is also considering securing the services of Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker.
Although the Spanish runner-up is still considered the favorite to land the Bondy prodigy, the player’s final decision remains up in the air.
As for the Norwegian international, he is under contract with the 2023 English and European champion until June 2027, but a release clause of 200 million euros, applicable from this summer, is arousing interest.
According to sources relayed by the media A.S.the release clause could be valid only for another Premier League club, with a reduction to 100 million euros for foreign teams.
In addition, according to information from Josep Pedrerol, host of the show El Chiringuitoa “close friend of Haaland calls Real Madrid every week” with a view to a possible arrival of the native of Leeds at Santiago Bernabéu.
Either way, the White House will have to make choices this summer. Indeed, even if he wishes to recruit Mbappé and Haaland, the financial reality of the La Liga resident could complicate the realization of this dream.
The signing of KM7 could complicate the recruitment of the former Borussia Dortmund striker, but if the Frenchman refuses, the Whites could turn to the cyborg.
