Kylian Mbappe has been given a date by Real Madrid when he should agree to sign for them or else they will turn to Manchester City star Erling Haaland
Real Madrid have reportedly set Kylian Mbappe a deadline to come to an agreement with the club.
The France international's future is again the subject of much speculation, as he is unlikely to sign a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain, meaning that he could join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.
Los Blancos had been expecting to sign the France international on a free in 2022, but he ultimately signed a new contract in Paris, which is due to expire next June.
According to AS, Real Madrid are confident that Mbappe will not renew his deal with Luis Enrique's side, but they are not prepared to enter into another saga when it comes to the forward's future.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have allegedly set a deadline of January 15 to come to an agreement with the attacker, and they will move on if terms cannot be agreed by that point.
The report claims that, should a deal for Mbappe fail to materialise, the club will target Manchester City forward Erling Haaland.
Real Madrid are believed to have the funds in place to make a big-money signing next summer, and Haaland's future has also been the subject of speculation in recent weeks.
The Norway international's agent recently failed to rule out a departure for the 23-year-old next year, and there is believed to be a €200m (£175m) release clause in his current deal.
Haaland has again been in outstanding form for Pep Guardiola's side during the 2023-24 campaign, scoring 19 goals and registering five assists in 21 appearances in all competitions.
