According to the well-known Spanish media Serb Radio, if Real Madrid can sell Vinicius to Saudi giants at a high price, Florentino wants to use the funds to introduce Manchester City center Haaland to let the Norwegian fight with Mbappe.

Mbappe & Haaland, after Messi and Ronaldo faded out of the mainstream league stage one after another, Mbappe and Haaland became representatives of the Middle Zodiac players. Real Madrid also paid attention to Haaland when they were competing for Mbappe. Just like the introduction of Ronaldo and Kaka in the summer window of 2009, Florentino has always hoped that Mbappe and Haaland can fight side by side on Real Madrid's forward line to replicate the feats of "Galaxy II".

Saudi Arabia was willing to spend 350 million euros in transfer fees to introduce Vinicius. If this negotiation can be restarted, Real Madrid can not only solve the position conflict between forward star players, but also obtain the funds needed to introduce Haaland. The two major problems cannot be solved, and Lafayette's wish is difficult to realize, in the middle of last season, Manchester City and Haaland continued their long contract, viewing it as the cornerstone of a new round of reconstruction. Real Madrid would have to pay a sky-high transfer fee if they want to introduce Norwegian center. In addition to the high price, another important reason that hinders Haaland and Mbappe's fusion comes from the tactical level - both players are finishers who need a lot of fire, and are also "luxury" players who don't make much contribution in the off-ball stage. The 352 system favored by Xavi Alonso requires the ability to pull the edge or retreat to the midfield. Mbappe and Haaland will lose the threat when they are away from the penalty area. The effect of the two after they are combined is difficult to make people optimistic.
