La Liga giants Real Madrid are reportedly hoping to complete the signing of Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham this summer.
According to a new report by The Independent, the Spanish giants want to reinvent their squad this summer and want the team to be built around Bellingham and Haaland. However, Los Blancos already feel confident about signing the Borussia Dortmund star after several meetings with his representatives.

And now, they have turned their attention to bringing Haaland to Santiago Bernabeu as a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema. According to the Independent, Real Madrid are hoping to pry him away from Manchester City at the end of the season, and they have the funds to do that.
Haaland and Bellingham have an existing relationship, having spent a season and a half together at Borussia Dortmund before the latter’s move to Man City last summer. Madrid want to build a new-look lineup in the summer, with attacking reinforcements the priority now, given that their key striker Benzema is 35 years.
Los Blancos have already signed Brazilian teenage star Endrick from Palmeiras. Still, the young man won’t be in Madrid until 2024, and Haaland would be the ideal solution to their immediate lack of depth at centre-forward.
