Indecisiveness at the right time can lead even the best of the deals to rot. The restrictions in the transfer markets usually can cause the deals to collapse at crunch moments. Real Madrid tried their best to sign Kylian Mbappe, but it didn’t work. The Spanish soccer club was one of the main options for the French star. However, a glitch remains for the clubs to sign him with a monstrous amount of money involved. With all the confusion in the air, some people are hoping to see Erling Haaland and Mbappe play together.

Erling Haaland and the Frenchman are like two shooting stars, lighting up the soccer world with their goal-scoring exploits. But bringing them together would be like trying to catch a comet. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But is there any plot that can bring them together?

Erling Haaland has comfortably settled in the Manchester City Squad. The striker scored 52 goals in his first season for the club, creating a club record and winning the European Men’s Player of the Year. On the other hand, his European rival Kylian Mbappe is still in search of the right chair. With the future of Mbappe’s playing abode still hanging, a recent conversation came up between the panel of a TV show.

ESPN FC Extra Time’s expert Jan Aage Fjortoft, however, doesn’t agree with Haaland playing with Mbappe anytime soon. He said, “Or any chance that Haaland would go to Real Madrid, I thought that was the one where they could meet up. I can’t see Mbappe going to City (Manchester City) now. I can’t see that would fit the bill“. The answer was a response to one of the questions that came from a fan to the experts.

The fan had tweeted a question asking if Mbappe could join Manchester City. Jan followed by saying humorously that he thought Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe would meet at Real Madrid after a few years. Interestingly, it has already come to notice that Real Madrid is preparing for a choice between Haaland and Mbappe in the coming years.

Mbappe’s transfer saga to Real Madrid

Mbappe initially showed interest in joining the Madrid-based club, but the persistence of PSG worked. With Real Madrid’s plans being postponed till at least January, there are still chances of Mbappe continuing in Paris. However, it does seem like Real Madrid might not pursue the deal further. Spending $270 million for a player in the final year of his current deal doesn’t make the most sense. For this transfer window at least, Carlo Ancelotti ruled the deal out, too. The Frenchman around a month ago, revealed that only PSG was his current option.

There is a lot of demand for the two players. The richest clubs getting into a virtual bullfight cannot be ruled once the diamonds are back in the transfer market. However, the limitations in La Liga on spending would make it tough for Real Madrid to come to terms with signing either of them. People once expected to see Lionel Messi play with Cristiano Ronaldo. A prime example of how rivalry has evolved to the next generation already.
