REAL MADRID will attempt to sign Erling Haaland if they can't seal a deal for Kylian Mbappe this summer, according to reports.
Mbappe's representatives have strongly denied claims that the Frenchman has agreed to join Los Blancos on a free transfer.

As reported by RMC Sport, a statement from his team read: "There’s no agreement on Kylian future.
"There have been no discussions about his futures. No type of influence could dictate the timing of Kylian's discussions, reflections, decisions."
The World Cup winner has just six months remaining on his current Paris Saint-Germain contract, meaning he is now free to negotiate with other clubs.
Real Madrid have been pushing to sign Mbappe for years, but there is no guarantee that he will make the switch this summer.
If the Frenchman decides against moving, Los Blancos could attempt to sign Haaland instead.
According to Spanish outlet AS, the Manchester City striker is still on Carlo Ancelotti's radar.
Haaland's current deal runs until 2027 and includes a £172million release clause.
However, that clause allegedly just applies to Premier League clubs.
For European clubs it is said to be closer to £86m.
Haaland enjoyed a record-breaking debut season in England.
He won the treble with Man City and scored the most Premier League goals in a single campaign.
