REAL MADRID want to sign Erling Haaland "more than ever" after being humiliated in El Clasico, according to reports.

Madrid were beaten 4-0 at the Bernabeu on Sunday, destroyed by Barcelona on their own turf.

The win moved the Catalans within 12 points of the league leaders, and Los Blancos haven't taken the demolition well.

Sport claim that club president Florentino Perez had already wanted to sign Haaland and El Clasico has "reaffirmed the commitment".

Perez will go "all out" to reinforce the galactico squad.

Real Madrid will "try to strike a double blow this summer" by signing both Haaland AND Kylian Mbappe.

The former midfielder added: “Benzema is great but look at the age he is.

They will try and hold off Man City, who are reportedly ready to make hitman Haaland the highest-paid player in the Premier League.

City are believed to have put together a salary in excess of £500,000-a week.
