Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane would reportedly prefer his club to sign Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez over Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland.
Los Blancos are thought to be preparing for life after Karim Benzema, with the Frenchman entering the latter stages of his career at the Bernabeu.
A recent report claimed that Madrid had identified Haaland as their number one target and were confident of signing the Norway international during the summer of 2022.
However, according to Tribal Football, Zidane would prefer to sign Martinez, with the Frenchman of the opinion that the Inter forward would be the better fit for his philosophy.
The 23-year-old has scored four times in nine appearances for his Italian club this season, while Haaland has managed 10 goals in 10 outings in all competitions.
The Spanish champions are also allegedly hopeful of signing Paris Saint-Germain attacker Kylian Mbappe during next summer's transfer window.
