Haaland or Mbappe? Real Madrid Superstar Rodrygo Gives Honest Answer on Who He Wants at the Club

• Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes has spoken about who he wants as teammate between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe
• Mbappe has long been the priority for Real Madrid, but interest is said to have cooled as they turn to the Manchester City striker
• Madrid are without a long-term No.9 following the departure of Karim Benzema

Rodrygo Goes has expressed his preference between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe to join him at Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants have been linked with both players following the departure of Karim Benzema to the Saudi Pro League.

Despite the curious absence of a marquee forward in their summer signings, Carlo Ancelotti's team has performed well, with Jude Bellingham stepping up to fill the void left by the Frenchman.

Meanwhile, speculation persists regarding the possibility of Real Madrid securing the services of Mbappe or Haaland, both considered future stars of global football.

Mbappe's contract with PSG expires next summer, and despite previous links to Madrid, a recent report from CadenaSER via Football Espana suggests that the pursuit of the 2018 World Cup winner has ended, potentially opening the door for Erling Haaland.

Also, reports over the past year have hinted at a clause in Haaland's City contract, with Spanish outlet AS via MEN reporting a €200m option becoming active next summer, prompting consideration from Madrid.

When asked about his preference between the two players joining him at the Bernabeu, Rodrygo remained tight-lipped in his response.

"Haaland or Mbappé? I don't know," he answered, as cited by Madrid Zone.
