Personally, I think he will be redundant at Manchester City as the team is well-stocked and doesn't need another striker like Mbappe when they have Haalande. If both players are competing for the golden ball and are unlikely to stand competition with each other playing in the same team, it could have a negative impact on the team as a whole. But it's fair to say that it would be a great duo

The distribution of their roles within the team would be pretty clear though. Haaland is a center forward and nothing else. He could never play a different position and he doesn't have any special talent to play anywhere else other than in the center. But Mbappe is more versatile. He could play as a left winger for sure and he could get several degrees of freedom for his game. I would put him as a semi-winger / semi-center forward player if I had Haaland and Mbappe available at the same time. But I agree with you that for Mbappe it would be better to go to Real Madrid and have his position in the center saved.

Considering the style of football Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland plays, it's absolutely possible for both players to feature in one team because unlike Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe can perfectly play in the positions but Haaland is only good as a top 9 striker. Manchester City without doubt will do anything within their strength to make sure they bring Kylian Mbappe to the club if the chance ever comes but I don't think such thing is going to happen because Real Madrid have reportedly completed over 85% contract deals that'll see the French national team captain join them in the summer. Mbappe also wants to join Real Madrid in the summer and that's why I don't give too much attention to rumours that suggests that Kylian Mbappe might just join another club that's not Real Madrid when he leaves his current club Paris Saint Germaine

Again, I don't know whether this can really be a goal for Manchester City to sign Mbappe, but if they want to, I think the solution would be to use Mbappe as probably the most dangerous winger next to Vinicius Junior that is out there at the moment.

Obviously, nothing is clear at the moment, but the transfer window is about to open and if Mbappe doesn't move to Real Madrid immediately, it may become clear that other teams are competing for him and Real Madrid won't like that very much, because they won't tolerate a second transfer failure.
