Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe? Real Madrid's Andriy Lunin picks his favourite between Man City & PSG stars as links to La Liga giants continue

Both Haaland and Mbappe have been heavily linked with moves to Real Madrid, with ongoing speculation surrounding their potential transfers to the Santiago Bernabeu. While most fans would be divided on their opinions, Lunin had little doubt while making his pick during a quick-fire Q&A.

Lunin had no qualms in choosing Manchester City's Norwegian sensation over the France and Paris Saint-Germain talisman. The goalkeeper told El Chiringuito: "As a number nine, Erling Haaland."

Lunin's choice seems to be guided by Haaland's suitability as a traditional number nine, contrasting with Mbappe's versatility across various attacking positions. If either of the superstars joins Madrid, it would be a Galactico signing further strengthening the team alongside talents like Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.

Mbappe has reportedly already made his choice to leave PSG in the summer. But he wants to do so on amicable terms and has allegedly promised to give up on a heftyloyalty bonus of €80 million (£69m/$86m), in the event of a summer exit from Paris.

PSG have identified potential replacements for Mbappe, including Marcus Rashford, Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Sesko, as they prepare for the possibility of his departure this summer. In the short term, Mbappe remains committed to the French outfit and determined to guide them to as much silverware as possible at the end of the campaign. He will be in action against Lille on Sunday in a Ligue 1 fixture, whereas Haaland will take the field a day earlier against Everton in a Premier League game.
