REAL MADRID are reportedly keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund pair Erling Haaland and Giovanni Reyna.
Spanish outlet Marca claims that Los Blancos will target Norwegian Haaland if they cannot sign Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe.

Los Blancos are said to view striker Haaland as an alternative to Kylian Mbappe
The striker, 20, is said to have a £63million release clause in his Dortmund contract and is considered the perfect replacement for Karim Benzema.
Frenchman Benzema turns 33 in December while £62m frontman Luka Jovic has flopped since he sealed a switch to the Bernabeu.
Haaland meanwhile underlined his striking credentials after bagging a hat-trick in the 4-0 UEFA Nations League win over Romania on Sunday.
That treble made it 51 goals in his last 48 games for club and country and proved why he would be such an attractive option for Madrid.
Yet Zinedine Zidane has still reportedly made French compatriot Mbappe his number one target.
Madrid have been long-term admirers of the 21-year-old but could not make their move this summer due to the financial impact caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The FIFA 21 cover star has entered the final two years of his PSG deal and has so far resisted talks to agree new terms.
SunSport previously reported that Madrid are planning an incredible transfer splurge to land both Mbappe and Haaland.
And the latter may also be joined by Dortmund team-mate Reyna – with Madrid also keeping tabs on the young American.
Marca claim the two clubs are in constant communication and the Spanish giants will be aware of any departure.
The 17-year-old, son of ex-Sunderland star Claudio Reyna, has enjoyed a meteoric rise since joining Dortmund from New York City.
