Real Madrid great Hugo Sanchez has revealed president Florentino Perez has asked him about striker signings.
Florentino is targeting PSG ace Kylian Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland for 2022.
Sanchez told AS: "I had the opportunity to speak with the president and he asked me the same question, what would I think of these players for Madrid. And I told him that Madrid was used to having the best in the world. It is convenient for both of them to come. They are different.
"Haaland is a striker. Mbappé is an all-rounder. Mbappé is like Benzema, younger and talented, but similar. Haaland is similar to Cristiano. He is a benchmark and Madrid need a player there. He is a beast."
On Karim Benzema, Sanchez said: "He had the merits to have won (the Ballon d'Or). There are strange things in France Football, in UEFA and in FIFA and you have to think that they have to correct it. They are losing a bit of credibility. The issue was rare. It was won by a PSG player. You have to give Messi his credit, but Benzema had credit to win it."
