Real Madrid want to build a team of Galacticos and are planning to sign two superstars in the summer of 2024.

According to AS, Madrid are preparing moves for Erling Haaland and Alphonso Davies at the end of next season.

Haaland completed a €60 million transfer to Man City from Borussia Dortmund this past summer.

The striker turned down Real Madrid in order to join the English champions.

But it is widely believed that Haaland only plans on staying at City for two or three seasons before moving onto another league.

Real Madrid favourites for Haaland

Real Madrid are considered the favourites to be his next club where he would succeed Karim Benzema, who turned 35 last month.

Haaland has a release clause in his Man City contract for foreign clubs that comes into effect in the summer of 2024 that is worth €200 million.

Haaland has enjoyed a sensational start to the 2022-23 season, breaking record after record and scoring 27 goals in his first 21 games for his new club.

And Madrid not only plan on signing Haaland in 2024 but also Bayern Munich star Davies.

The Blancos are looking for a new long-term left-back to have the same impact as former legends Marcelo and Roberto Carlos, and feel that Davies is their man.

Davies is still only 22, but he has already won four Bundesliga titles with Bayern and the Champions League in 2020 - his sitting down of Nelson Semedo in the quarter-finals of the latter a YouTube favourite ever since.

His contract at the Allianz Arena runs until June 2025, so Real will hope to get him for significantly less than the €72.3m he is rated at by Football Transfers' in-house algorithm if they bid for him one summer out from that.
