At the same time, Real Madrid also have their eyes on Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland, with the club in a position to sign both him and Mbappe in the summer.

Now, a fresh report from AS is claiming that Real Madrid have enlisted the help of talismanic midfielder Jude Bellingham to help convince Haaland to join the club.

It is widely believed that Haaland is driven by the prospect of one day playing in a Real Madrid shirt. He loves Spain and always enjoyed Cristiano Ronaldo’s imperial Madrid side of the past decade.

Now, Bellingham, who played with Haaland at Dortmund for a couple of seasons, is speaking to the striker about the possibility of joining Real Madrid, having made the jump himself last summer.

As per the report, Bellingham has repeatedly told Haaland over the last few months that if he finally decides to sign for Real Madrid he would be “absolutely right”.

In addition, the 20-year-old midfield star has told the Norwegian how incredible it is to play at the new Santiago Bernabeu, and about the Bernabeu fans and how they push the team on the big days.

Bellingham has also told him about the greatness of the club, the impressive facilities at Valdebebas, the professionalism of the staff, and the magnificent coexistence of the squad with a coaching staff led by Ancelotti.

Whether it is enough to convince Haaland to push for a move from Manchester City to Real Madrid in the summer remains to be seen. But it appears that the Merengues intend to go after him as well, along with Mbappe.
