Madrid have been leading the chase for Haaland's signature alongside Barcelona, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.
The 21-year-old has a cut-price £64million release clause in his Dortmund deal and though a host of Europe’s top clubs are eager to trigger it, the youngster is in a strong position to decide where he wants to go.
But said that Real aren't currently chasing Haaland's signature.
Pedrerol added: "It could change but the objective is Kylian Mbappe, not trying to get both of them in May.
"He isn't a priority for Real Madrid. It's Mbappe, Mbappe, Mbappe."
Pedrerol is said to be close to Madrid president Florentino Perez.
