Kylian Mbappe is a more complete player than Erling Haaland, according to Barcelona defender Dani Alves.

Two of the hottest properties in world football, both players are heavily linked with moves away from their respective clubs.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Mbappe, who is widely believed to be heading to Real Madrid in the close season, has scored 28 goals and assisted a further 17 in 38 appearances across all competitions this term.

Meanwhile, despite a string of injuries, Haaland has been directly involved in 29 goals (scoring 23 and assisting six) for Borussia Dortmund in 2021-22.

Barcelona are among a host of clubs reportedly interested in both forwards, with Manchester City and Real Madrid also in contention to make blockbuster moves.

But if the Blaugrana are to spend big on one of them, Alves believes that Mbappe should be their main priority. 

Speaking to Sport, the veteran defender said: “Mbappe is a more complete player than Haaland in all aspects of the game.

“I wouldn’t do crazy things for Haaland. Honestly, I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on him.

“I would spend a lot of money on Mbappe, but not on Haaland.

“If you are going to make a giant investment, you have to do it in the best way. If it depended on me, I would bet on Mbappe.”
