Liverpool boosted in quest to sign Mbappe as Real Madrid could buy Haaland

Real Madrid look to be turning their attentions from Kylian Mbappe to Erling Haaland, according to Cuatro.

The two attackers are generally seen as the two most exciting young players in world football currently, excelling for Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund respectively.

Liverpool have been linked with huge moves for both Mbappe and Haaland in recent months, with the pair potentially both moving on this summer.

It is now claimed that Madrid are eyeing up the Dortmund man over the PSG superstar, acting as a potential boost to the Reds, should be they be considering a move for the latter.

The report states that only one of them can join Zinedine Zidane’s side this summer and that Haaland looks the more likely.

Liverpool and Madrid have long been considered the front-runners to sign Mbappe, so this update should be viewed as a positive for the Reds.

Should the La Liga giants snap up Haaland, it could then make Jurgen Klopp’s life easier, in terms of acquiring the signature of the France World Cup winner.

It does still seem hard to envisage Mbappe heading to Liverpool if Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota are all still there, however, with Klopp finding it hard to keep them all happy.

Not only that, but the Reds could find it difficult to justify paying a vast fee for the Frenchman, unless one of their star men moves on.
