Real to launch an astonishing double transfer swoop for Mbappe and Haaland

By -

Spanish giants Real Madrid are popularly known for always hunting for the best talents in world football and have been recently linked with moves for PSG forward Kylain Mbappe and Dortmund's Norwegian starlet Braut Erlin Haaland.

Real have been linked with a move for Mbappe for a couple of years now with club manager Zinedine Zidane who is a fan of the World Cup winner, making it clear his intentions to bring the 21 years old to the Spanish capital.

The French forward, who modeled former Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo, growing up, has two years left on his current PSG contract and might fancy the chance to replace his idol at Real.

The Madrid club will also be confident of convincing Mbappe not to sign a contract extension with the French giants after a bust up with club manager Thomas Tuchel earlier this year.

Norwegian wonderKid Haaland, has hit the ground running in the BundesLiga after his move from RB Salzburg at the turn of the year. The 19 years old has netted 12 times in 11 outings for BVB and it will be a tough task for the club to persuade him to stay if the interest from Los Blancos persist.

Real brought in Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic last summer but neither has done anything to fill the void left by their former Portuguese talisman, with Belgian playmaker, Hazard, having year to forget after missing most of the games through injuries and registering just a goal in 10 outings. Jovic, however, has not done enough to secure the trust of manager, Zinedine Zidane.

Should Real be successful in luring this two superstars to the Bernabeu ahead of the 2020/21 season, it could be the start of another great something for Los Merengues after a halt in the club's domination since losing Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in the summer of 2018.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a real target for Manchester United as they look to secure a main goalscorer, who will lead the lines for the club on a long-term. Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around. The striker position has been a major issue for the club as many of those who had been signed has not lived up to expectations, while those who did ended up leaving due to their already ending careers. Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the only two names who have m
