Real Madrid reportedly want to sign BOTH Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland this summer, but how does Carlo Ancelotti fit duo in the same starting XI as Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior?

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to make two ‘Galactico’ transfers this summer, as they look to sign both Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.  

Both Mbappe and Haaland, who are tipped to be future Ballon d’Or winners, look set to leave Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season, leaving clubs on red alert.

But Madrid are reportedly in pole position to sign both, which could make them the team to beat in the Champions League for the foreseeable future.

Outrageously, they could be set to bring them both to Bernabeu for a combined £64million!

Mbappe’s contract expires in the summer and despite reports of a record-breaking £1m-a-week contract and a £83m signing bonus, his stay at the Parc des Princes is set to end.

Meanwhile, Haaland will see a release clause in his contract become active making him available this summer for £64m.

But how will Real Madrid line up if they manage to pull off a remarkable double signing? talkSPORT takes a look…

4-3-3

With Haaland’s potential arrival, many are wondering where that leaves 34-year-old striker Karim Benzema.

The Frenchman has been one of Real’s key men over the last decade and seems to be improving with age, scoring 19 and assisting nine in 23 league games this season.

If Ancelotti is to stick with the 4-3-3 that he has used throughout the majority of this season, it could leave the French striker out in the cold if Haaland signs, with Mbappe and Vinicius Junior either side of the Norwegian.

The rest of the starting XI would likely stay the same as the one that sees them currently top La Liga, with youngster Eduardo Camavinga potentially getting more game time next season as Luka Modric, now 36, edges towards the end of his career.

4-2-4

An ultra-attacking system, but one that would see all of Real’s star players start – something that would be a frightening sight for defenders.

A front four of Vinicius, Benzema, Haaland, and Mbappe would undoubtedly score goals, but would Real be able to keep them out?

A midfield two of Casemiro and Toni Kroos would have their work cut out, but if Ancelotti’s tactic would be to outscore the opposition, it might just work.

Unless Mbappe starts through the middle, it would mean that either Vinicius or the Frenchman would have to start on the right-wing, with both players featuring on the left throughout this season.

That is just one of the many problems, if you can call them that, which comes with signing a multitude of attacking talent.

Good luck, Carlo…
