Real Madrid will be recruiting two new attackers to join forces with Eden Hazard and apparently, the Spanish giants have identified the targets as Paris Saint-Germain ace Kylian Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Haaland. The reinforcements could arrive at Bernabeu as early as 2021 and tipped to take the place of departed and soon-to-leave Galacticos.
Los Blancos lost Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in 2018 and the Portuguese is yet to be replaced since. Prior to his exit, Ronaldo teamed up with Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema that powered the club to three Champions League crowns. With the magic of that triumvirate now gone, Real is gunning to replicate the feat by bringing in fresh legs.
According to The Daily Mail, picking up on the report by Spanish newspaper AS, the plan by Real boss Zinedine Zidane is to sign Mbappe and Haaland by next summer. The plot indicated that Zidane's side is beefing up to win pick up as many titles as possible when young attackers have agreed to play with Real.
To make its dream happen, Real will need to pay up the £65 million price tag set by his Bundesliga side for his release. Mbappe, on the other hand, is tied with the Paris club until 2022 but he can make it easier for Zidane by thumbing down an extension that PSG will offer.
In such a case, the French club could be prompted to negotiate for a transfer deal on the World Cup winner for fear that he could walk out with PSG getting nothing.
Real landing the two prolific attackers will surely boost the club's campaign and the records of the youngsters speak volumes so far. For the 18-year-old Norwegian, his total goal in the season is at 41 and highlighted by the 10 nets he cleared in the Champions League games.
For his part, Mbappe has already scored 90 goals since his professional debut. His numbers and that of Haaland are convincing enough for Real to form a future that is headlined by the young attackers with Hazard spearheading the Real frontline.
Once the three stars have been gathered at Bernabeu, the vision by Zidane is to deploy Mbappe on the right side of the field while Hazard will be tasked to operate on the left. Haaland then will be given middle space to do what he does best - find his way to the net.
In case Real only managed to sign one of the two transfer targets, an alternative in sight is Manchester United forward Paul Pogba. But according to Express, landing the Frenchman is seen as a remote possibility at the moment.
Either Pogba will rejoin Juventus by the next transfer window or he could opt to stay at Old Trafford, possibly for another season, added the report.
