Italian football legend Fabio Capello in a recent interview, claimed that Kylian Mbappe is a better footballer than Erling Haaland, while responding to a question of who Real Madrid should sign next season. However, he stressed that it is Haaland, who fulfills Madrid’s needs. The debate over who is a better player, Manchester City front-man Erling Haaland or PSG skipper Kylian Mbappe, is set to continue for the next few years.

Both of the players seek to create a rivalry similar to that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid have been linked to both the players. While the Frenchman is Madrid’s primary target, there is speculation that the club might shift their focus to the Norwegian if negotiations with PSG fail. Fabio Capello, in a recent interview, exclaimed that Erling Haaland would be a better fit than Mbappe.

The former Real Madrid manager, who won two La Liga titles with the club, has pointed out that Mbappe is the better player among the two talented forwards. Capello pointed to technical ability as a key factor in Mbappe’s superiority and exclaimed that he is not a center forward, and likes to play more on the wing. He highlighted the fact that Madrid needs Erling Haaland, more than Mbappe, due to Vinicus‘ presence in the wing. Despite that, he commended Mbappe as an exceptional player, claiming that if Madrid signed him, it would be a great addition.

"Mbappe is not a center-forward, he likes to play more on the wing. Madrid already has Vinicius, but Mbappe is Mbappe! If Madrid is going to sign, they have to ask themselves if they have a center forward now. And they don't have one. They need that more. If you are going to look at technical quality, who is the better footballer, Mbappe is above Haaland.

Madrid has been left without a center-forward this season with the departure of Karim Benzema and would look to bring in top talent to bolster their squad in the summer transfer window. Kylian Mbappe’s contract expires this summer and is anticipated to join the Los Blancos.
