Spanish giants Real Madrid are popularly known for always hunting for the best talents in world football and have been recently linked with moves for PSG forward Kylain Mbappe and Dortmund’s Norwegian starlet Braut Erlin Haaland.
Real have been linked with a move for Mbappe for a couple of years now with club manager Zinedine Zidane who is a fan of the World Cup winner, making it clear his intentions to bring the 21 years old to the Spanish capital.
The French forward, who modeled former Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo, growing up, has two years left on his current PSG contract and might fancy the chance to replace his idol at Real.
The Madrid club will also be confident of convincing Mbappe not to sign a contract extension with the French giants after a bust up with club manager Thomas Tuchel earlier this year.
Norwegian wonderKid Haaland, has hit the ground running in the BundesLiga after his move from RB Salzburg at the turn of the year. The 19 years old has netted 12 times in 11 outings for BVB and it will be a tough task for the club to persuade him to stay if the interest from Los Blancos persist.
Real brought in Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic last summer but neither has done anything to fill the void left by their former Portuguese talisman, with Belgian playmaker, Hazard, having year to forget after missing most of the games through injuries and registering just a goal in 10 outings. Jovic, however, has not done enough to secure the trust of manager, Zinedine Zidane.
Should Real be successful in luring this two superstars to the Bernabeu ahead of the 2020/21 season, it could be the start of another great something for Los Merengues after a halt in the club’s domination since losing Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in the summer of 2018.
