Real Madrid 'can afford Kylian Mbappe and Erling Braut Haaland this summer'

Real Madrid are reportedly confident they can afford to sign both Kylian Mbappe and Erling Braut Haaland this summer.

Mbappe has supposedly rejected Paris Saint-Germain's latest offer of an extension beyond 2022 and is widely expected to join Los Blancos on a free transfer this summer.

Haaland, meanwhile, is understood to possess a £63m release clause in his Borussia Dortmund contract, leading to an intense scramble for his services ahead of the 2022-23 season.

According to Marca, Real are confident that they have the financial resources to sign both strikers this summer, even though their wages will come in at a combined £1.6m per week.

The report adds that Isco, Marcelo and Gareth Bale's imminent exits will help Real trim their wage bill, and they are also hopeful of offloading Eden Hazard back to Chelsea.

Haaland is also thought to be on the radar of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona and PSG after netting 23 goals and setting up six more in 20 appearances this season.
