Real Madrid spark Haaland AND Mbappe 'special operation' as new Galacticos era arrives

Ambitious Real Madrid are reportedly growing increasingly confident they can land both Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe this summer.

Los Blancos chief Florentino Perez is a huge admirer of the finest young strikers in world football and both appear attainable.

PSG superstar Mbappe is a free agent in the summer and he has long held a desire to follow in the footsteps of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo and turn out for Madrid.

And now Marca state Haaland could join him if Isco, Marcelo, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard all set to call time on their stay in the Spanish capital.

Karim Benzema's future is more complex, the 34-year-old remains one of the finest players on the planet, however, any deal to get the Norwegian from Borussia Dortmund would signal a changing of the guard.

The outlet claim it's "operation in progress" for Real Madrid as they explore every option to secure both players during the same transfer window.

Some have cast doubt on whether Mbappe and Haaland can play in the same team but Perez is convinced the pair can forge a partnership that will usher in a new trophy era at the Bernabeu.
