Real Madrid

The current holders of La Liga and Champions League titles are forever in the market for the best players on the planet. With Florentino Perez filling the role of club president, that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/what-galactico-ronaldo-beckham-all-real-madrids-super-signings/1lrrb6x9j0n9f1actzefqw47am" target="_blank">recruitment model has been in place at Santiago Bernabeu</a> for some time.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/real-madrid/haaland-queda-sitio-real-madrid-103549079 " target="_blank">SPORT</a>, Real are no longer in a rush to explore those options and bring <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-kylian-mbappe-vinicius-jr-real-madrid-julio-baptista-why-florentino-perez-reform-galacticos/bltc906ab1a09494a07" target="_blank">Haaland in alongside Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo</a>.
