However, they will not be able to achieve their aim except they let go of some of their stars and they are now planning to sell six of their current players to raise funds for Mbappe and Haaland.
Topping the list of the six stars who might be shown the exit doors after this season are Gareth Bale and struggling Eden Hazard.
The Mirror claims the Borussia Dortmund star could be available for £65million when his release clause comes into play next season.
But his value could rise as Manchester United and a few other European clubs are also interested in his services.
The publication further revealed that Real may part with £150million to sign the Norwegian at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Mbappe's deal with PSG expires in the summer of 2022, meaning from January next year, he can commence negotiations with the club of his choice.
He could cost considerably more, especially as PSG do not want to sell, but Mbappe has previously revealed it is his dream to play for Real Madrid, and this could force the French club's hand.
The Mirror quoting Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo listed the names of the players who could be shown the exit doors, namely; Bale, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Hazard, Isco, and Marcelo.
Bale is currently on loan at his former club Tottenham Hotspur but doesn't seem to have a future under Zinedine Zidane.
Contract negotiations with Ramos have reached an impasse and the 34-year-old could finally leave the club this summer after 16 years.
Varane has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid in recent months amid fears he's not prepared to sign a new deal, while Isco and Marcelo have fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu.
Finally, Hazard has been plagued with injuries the whole time he has been at Real Madrid, and it seems the club are now ready to cut their losses and sell.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Eden Hazard's football career might come to an abrupt end if the Belgian undergoes his third ankle operation.
The 30-year-old joined Real Madrid in 2019 in a deal valued at around €146.1 million including add ons while he earns £400,000 on a weekly basis.
However, he has scored just four goals and seven assists in 36 appearances across all competitions since then.
