Real Madrid target Haaland while Man City monitor Vinicius - reports
Real Madrid and Manchester City are rivals both on the pitch and off it. Their financial and sporting power makes them attractive options for any player.
As the transfer window approaches, both clubs eye each other for potential signings. Real Madrid signed Mbappe last summer, but there are doubts about his fit in the starting XI alongside Vinicius, who plays in the left-wing position Mbappe desires to regain. There is also the pressure of Vinicius wanting a renewal and a pay rise, as well as rumors about interest from Saudi Arabia.
Madrid need a striker, and a winger could be surplus to requirements. If a top-class forward arrives, Vinicius could be sold for a hefty transfer fee. Todofichajes reports that among the options, Haaland is a top priority for Florentino Perez, as pairing him with Mbappe could create an extraordinary attacking duo.
However, if Madrid go for Haaland, City might look to sign Vinicius, giving him the freedom to play in his natural left-wing position, especially with De Bruyne leaving and Grealish struggling. A surprising market exchange could be on the cards.
