REAL MADRID are preparing a £292million transfer package to sign Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland this summer, according to reports.

The Spanish giants have been long-term admirers of both superstars.

And Marca state the club are putting together the finances to fund the two moves in order to cover transfer fees, agents' costs and player wages.

Mbappe, 23, looks almost certain to make the switch to the Bernabeu when his Paris Saint-Germain contract expires at the end of the season.

He has wanted to play for the club since he was a child and Real appear to have a free run at signing the World Cup winner.

Los Blancos made bids to try and land Mbappe last summer but PSG were determined to hold on and see if they could convince the ex-Monaco youngster to sign an extension.

However, that appears increasingly unlikely and a free transfer should get completed – meaning Real would only need to pay an agent fee and Mbappe's wages.

However, Madrid face an intense battle to secure Haaland.

The Borussia Dortmund striker, 21, has scored 78 goals in 77 games for the German outfit.

And that has some of Europe's biggest clubs chasing his signature including Real's arch-rivals Barcelona as well as English giants Manchester United and Manchester City.

Chelsea may reignite their interest if Romelu Lukaku follows through on his promise to return to Inter Milan.

The Norwegian ace refuses to give much away regarding where he will be playing his football next season.

His current contract at Dortmund has a release clause of around £64m which comes into effect this summer.

But Haaland, his dad Alf-Inge and agent Mino Raiola will make sure he gets the best deal with a mammoth pay packet expected wherever he ends up.

PRESSURE ON

On Friday, there were early signs of discontent by revealing he was feeling 'pressure' from his current club to decide on his future.

Haaland said: "They have started to put a lot of pressure on me and I have to accept that.

"I have chosen not to say anything out of respect for the club and the fans.

"But now that a lot of pressure is coming from the club, so it is the time to get things started. It means things will happen now.

"I have said from the beginning I want to focus on football because that's when I am at my best. Not when other things come into my mind."

Pressed on when he would make his call, Haaland added: "Not now because we're in the middle of a difficult period with a lot of games. All I want to do is to play football, but I can't do that now."

In response, Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke confirmed the club 'cannot wait until May' to find out what Haaland wants to do.
