Both Haaland and Mbappe have been strongly associated with transfers to Real Madrid, with ongoing speculation swirling around their potential moves to the Santiago Bernabeu. While many fans may hold differing opinions, Lunin left no room for doubt when expressing his preference during a rapid-fire Q&A session.

Lunin confidently opted for Manchester City’s Erling Haaland over PSG’s French star. The goalkeeper stated to El Chiringuito: “As a number nine, Erling Haaland.”

Lunin’s decision appears to be influenced by Haaland’s proficiency as a traditional striker, contrasting with Mbappe’s adaptability in various attacking roles. If either of these superstars were to join Madrid, it would signify a Galactico signing, further enhancing the team alongside talents like Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.

Reports suggest that Mbappe has already decided to depart PSG in the summer. However, he intends to do so amicably and has purportedly agreed to forgo a substantial loyalty bonus of €80 million (£69m/$86m) should he leave Paris this summer.

PSG have begun scouting potential replacements for Mbappe, including Marcus Rashford, Victor Osimhen, and Benjamin Sesko, in anticipation of his potential departure. In the meantime, Mbappe remains committed to PSG and is determined to help them secure as much silverware as possible by the end of the season. He is set to face Lille in a Ligue 1 fixture on Sunday, while Haaland will be in action a day earlier against Everton in the Premier League.
