The France international scored twice during Los Blancos’ 4-1 win on Sunday afternoon as they leapfrogged Atletico Madrid to claim top spot in La Liga. Mbappe endured a slow start to life at the Santiago Bernabeu, after his free transfer arrival from Paris Saint-Germain, but he has now registered 16 goals in 29 appearances for the club. Erling Haaland snubs Real Madrid to sign new Man City contract Ancelotti’s comments about Mbappe come following news of Erling Haaland’s eye-watering new contract at Man City. The 24-year-old is widely considered to be the world’s best striker and he has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid over the past few years. In fact, the Norway international was even touted as a possible signing this year following Mbappe’s poor run of form across October and November. However, Haaland has now snubbed the chance to join Real Madrid by signing a lucrative new Man City contract. https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2025/01/kylian-mbappe-news-carlo-ancelotti-real-madrid-erling-haaland
