Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is being affected by rumors that Kylian Mbappe has chosen a new destination from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Real Madrid in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Since the beginning of this year, the French press has loudly reported that star Kylian Mbappe will leave PSG to join Real Madrid under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti in the summer. Then, Spanish newspaper MARCA revealed that the Frenchman had signed for Los Blancos and joined the La Liga giants as their highest-paid player.

This is the best news for Real Madrid as everything is still progressing.”
When everything is ready for Mbappe’s new stop, Norwegian striker Erling Haaland is not happy with this news. According to Spanish newspaper AS, Erling Haaland is mentally disturbed and “shaken” by Mbappe’s upcoming appearance in the Spanish capital. Accordingly, the Man City star once wanted to join the Santiago Bernabeu, but with the presence of the French player, his dream of joining Real Madrid is difficult to come true.
