Real Madrid’s Andriy Lunin was faced with the choice between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, both heavily linked with the La Liga giants. Lunin, in a quick-fire Q&A, expressed his preference, stating, “As a number nine, Erling Haaland”.

The ongoing speculation surrounds potential transfers of Haaland and Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu, and Lunin’s clear choice reflects Haaland’s suitability as a traditional number nine compared to Mbappe’s versatility across various attacking positions.

If either of these football stars joins Real Madrid, it would be a significant Galactico signing, strengthening the team alongside talents like Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.

On a separate note, reports suggest that Mbappe has already made a decision to leave PSG in the summer, with the intent to do so amicably, even waiving a substantial loyalty bonus. PSG is reportedly eyeing potential replacements for Mbappe, including Marcus Rashford, Victor Osimhen, and Benjamin Sesko, preparing for the possibility of his departure. In the short term, Mbappe remains committed to PSG, aiming to secure silverware by the end of the season, while Haaland continues his campaign with Manchester City in the Premier League.
